    Unfortunately Styx is unavailable this month, so I am your temporary host Cariad! o:

    Last month's winner was timexhasxgone with her beautiful poem A Saviour. The imagery created in her piece was amazing and she had a good use of repetition. Very well done :3

    This month's theme is, of course, Hallowe'en. Your best attempt to spook us! Good luck, guys!

    NICE ONE timexhasxgone awesom poem again ^_^

    Pointless running
    A gasp for breath, a cry for help.
    A scream as a hand grabs my arm.
    A quick increase in speed as a shout comes from behind.
    A glance behind, big, big mistake.
    A bump right into another zombie.
    A witches laugh from the shop ahead.
    A face-to-face encounter with a witch.
    A whole load of laughs while I scream.
    A sudden occurring though.
    A dumb person I am, how could i forget it's halloween?

    EDIT: Imade a better one is it ok to swap?

    hunting

    We sneek around hunting our prey.
    Lurking in the shadows watching in dismay.
    The others are taking what we need to survive.
    They don't need it we have to revive.
    We creep to the preys habitats and make a bang.
    We go to shadows and wait until thre bell rang.
    We move ahead and see they beat us to it.
    Why do they do this, we only want a bit.
    We hurry to the last habitat but the prey is gone.
    Damn those bullies they took the last bon-bon.

    Christianity's End

    Christianity's End​


    The moon shining
    wolves howling to the sky
    death is what they bring
    spirts flying by

    the water turning scarlet
    a burnt church
    your very fate is writ
    now every tree turns dark as birch

    bodies rising from the grave
    darkness shrouding your sight
    you are now satan's slave
    your future is now dark as night

    your now bond in chain
    God has been slain

    Goodnight

    Goodnight.

    I would preach to you all, but you're too young to be told.
    You got me rolling round in an ecstasy of gold.
    So, put on your face.
    Slap on that smile.
    Praise to your god; I haven't seen him in a while.

    Watch the coffin being lowered, 6 feet under-ground.
    A body being buried, never to be found.
    Black crows flying,
    A solemn mood awaits,
    The sharp sting of depression strikes the human race.

    Satanic bells ringing, sending out a warning-call.
    Christian hearts beating, though god resents them all.
    So put on your face.
    Slap on that smile.
    Praise to your god, I haven't seen him in a while.

    Don't make me laugh with your jibber and your singing.
    This won't turn out pretty with satanic bells ringing.
    You know this will end,
    With suffering in the final hour,
    It's hard to comprehend; the world withering like a flower.

    Praise to your god.
    I'm staring at his face.
    Praise to your god.

    May he save the human race.

    Well this feels pretty fucking weird, I don't think I have ever entered one of these. Not expecting to do that well, but what the heck, nothing to lose.

    Trick or Treat

    Distracted by the sound
    Of children running ‘round
    Screaming in delight
    On this Halloween night
    Running from door to door
    Hands held open asking for
    Toffee apples and delicious treats
    Sugary chocolates and candy sweets

    Ding Dong Ding Dong
    Hear the ringing of the bell
    Welcome the little darlings into hell
    Smile at their wide, open eyes
    Frozen in fear and lost in surprise
    As they see
    The smile carved into place
    On such a pretty, pretty face

    Insides scooped clean
    Flesh perfect, pristine
    The pulpy mush
    So sticky and lush
    Smeared between my fingers
    The satisfaction lingers
    As I toss away the seeds
    Out amongst the weeds
    In my garden

    See their delighted smiles
    They think it is all a trick
    They don’t see the mess
    So bloody, so thick
    That covers the kitchen floor
    A flood of flesh and gore
    The stink of burning skin
    From the candle placed within
    The grinning head that overlooks the street
    A dying breath of Trick or Treat

    Now I just need to decide
    What am I going to do?
    With what is left of you​

    Here is my poem :)

    Death's Lullaby

    Let me lay so darkness can surround as i sleep,
    allow the pain to stay so i can keep.
    let my soul be traped as time goes by,
    let sin and despair by my keepers as i stay in my cage day by day,
    let the blood become acidic eating away my skin as i listen to the Lullaby,
    the tone is smoothing yet sinfull as i stay listening to the black angel's words,
    i listen till i sleep pray to death my soul to keep,
    as my time beats away slowly make me love the pain as i sleep,
    let my body burn as i weep
    allow my soul stay so Death can keep.

    It's Time Again

    It's time again, so peer into the night
    It's once again time, let us creep past the moon
    eerie sounds, and dim orange lights
    they conspire against us, to drive us back to our cocoon
    So let us slip past, and let's do it right

    For it is that time, we know it so well
    It's time once more, we're ready to fight
    But still the ghosts will go, where the would never dwell
    But still fear not for it is only one night
    What happens we will not know, only time will tell

    It's time now, so let us bring our monstrous queen
    The time has come, let it not be done poorly
    Though you may be envious and painted green
    For this is our night, our time of glory
    This time we know as Halloween​

    I tried a rhyming scheme this time, IDK if I like the rhythm of it so much though :/

    The War of November's Eve

    Beneath a haze of white hot stars
    The impostors scurry about
    Their masks and wigs and robes galore
    Derive a great deal of doubt

    Their identities are known to none
    But their goals are as plain as the night
    These humans in demonic drag want sweets
    And are equally hungry for fright

    They range in size and shape
    Though some are just too strange
    To fit into any category
    No matter how deranged

    They approach each and every door
    Their bags rustling throughout
    With the spoils of war within them
    They knock and gleefully shout

    "Trick or treat!" is their battle cry
    Their anthem of holy war
    And powerful it must be indeed
    To make candy fly out each door

    By the end of this chaotic evening
    The people's supplies are diminished
    But they look to the bright side
    At least this pillaging is finished

    Exhausted, they tread through their homes
    But suddenly, they're gripped by fear
    At the sudden dreadful revelation that
    This will all be relived next year.

    Frankie's First Night Away

    Hiya, i'm Freddy from round the lane,
    Sorry Jason's being such a pain,
    I hear you’re the new kid on the street,
    We thought you'd like to Trick or treat,
    Since we thought you could use the meet and greet!!!

    Ha! I know your bro Drake won't be pleased,
    But...hell, he shouldn't have teased,
    bout what happened on this very night,
    10 years back there was a sight,
    In the old abandoned estate,
    The night that took our cousin Kate,

    Man - it wasn't cool
    ...Just in the pool,
    Her body floating
    Our pants soaking,
    We thought of running,
    But we were still stunning,
    ...
    How the hell could he be so cunning?

    The Reaper had come,
    And left none,
    Blood on the walls - he's coming back,
    Yet… I haven't kept track,
    Don't you live on an estate?
    Where we once knew Kate?

    Huh...
    Hope you parents aren’t home...
    Since...they won't be alone...
