As darkness adds to stench and stink from in the pit of pendulum sleek The fall of blade a death foretells as rats upon the ledge do squeak Eyes peer from out the darkest gloom into the black of pit below till pebbles fall o’er sharp of ledge find clinks in swing of glinting slow The swish and flail in rhythm fell from fall in graze of swinging blade when air of steel does breeze the hear in nightmare’s wait of one displayed Whence black of dark and soup of night does bring the blind to terror’s eyes in need of feel of candle’s glow to quell the pierce of screams and cries In pit of dark in times of old as fear of cease does bring a chill a crescent steel of razor cold in swing of night the beat will still |

Barry!! Now you know me and the affect these spooky ones have on me! Now I'm going to be up all night!! I think there is someone under the bed.. AND it's a waterbed!  Seriously, you are becoming very proficient with these spooky writes. Good work... ~Extra tight, scared to death hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

ROTF at Enchantress' comment! A waterbed! LOL... Now, note to KRJ: diary 10/31/02, docket one week ahead, send e-mail to Magnus to pull this out of the dusty archives, blow off the cobwebs, and repost for Hallowe'en. |

Sandra.. As the moon becomes the clouds of darkest night in quaking fear and dread departs flow of shrouds in wait of the pumpkin's leer Sounds like a plan to me... Thanx... Noah....keep a light on tonite!! Nancy...Waterbed? Who is it, the poster boy, still a poster?? LOL KRJ...yes, put it on the docket for one week prior to Halloween... From out of the gloom of dark into the wane of distant light the words will haunt, be stark whence again returns the fright As ground of graves open let the turn of hand gray in chill the boogey man will them get... He's gonna, I'll bet you he will The chill of howl and shriek shall scurry down the soul as bumps will rise and peak when the dead in night do stroll |
