This month's theme was Halloween and the rule was to submit three free form lines without using the words black, orange or spooky. It was hosted by Dragonfly Poems.
Halloween Magick
Little people dressed so sweet
Dance along the city street
Hollering trick or treat
Ghouls, ghosts and vampire alike
Horror strikes this very night
So join these monsters, turn out the light
Whispering Whispering witches gathered ’round the cauldron,
Chanting magical words of wonderous accord,
Shhh, they may see you watching…
Butchered, bleeding
lying on the porch,
a pumpkin.
The veil of mysticism descends on the dark night.
Glowing jack o lanterns and spirits among us
Tonight is for us all.
You can probably tell which verse is mine. (Hint: it involves a pumpkin!) I'm a bit pleased with myself that Magick is in the title. It could be a coincidence, but I choose to think not.
You may now kiss the ring. (And when you're done be sure to head over to humorbloggers.com for all your humor and Halloween needs.)

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Mine's dark like that. Just right to read to the little kiddies before they go trick or treating. It hasn't been published yet. Maybe wednesday. You'll have to stop by and read it. Oh, you were one of my hit picks today to. Read Sunday Suck Up Times post at my place. Later
don, you rock! Thanks for the shout-out! I hope to keep being the razor blade in the apple for many years to come.
Great scary poem. There's not enough scary in the world.
Thanks for making the world a little scarier!
Kudos to you!
Oooo, that is really creative and cool! I loved it as a whole and I loved your contribution as well.
@quirkyloon--Thanks. I'm glad you don't think the world is too scary. I find it terrifying.
@angiess--I had no idea what exquisite corpse was looking for so I just did something smart-assed as usual. But I think it works. I'm glad you do, too.
