Midnight has struck ... and now is the hour;
and throughout the graveyard all's still in a hush.
On cue, tombs rip open, the stench wafting sour,
old wounds bleed anew, blood spews forth in a gush.
Spirits arise with thoughts pent up crass.
The joy of pure evil now howls and it soars--
hysteric'ly cackling with thoughts of things rash.
The night fills with terror as deviltry roars.
Ahhh ... trick or treaters, so cute as they hop
for candy and baubles ... and maybe some cash.
But soon it will be their sweet heads we will chop,
and the treat will be our blackened tongues in each gash!
So, follow them closely, dear mum in the car,
for we're just kids too, yes'm, hardy har HARRRRRR!
I DID use a couple three letter words, what the hell, I got an abab cdcd efef gg rhyme scheme out of it. Gimme a break. LOL
Topic: Write an anagram poem using one of the following words as your title : gravestones, ghostliness, broomsticks, apparitions, nightmarish, sarcophagus, frightening
The word you pick from the choices above should be your poem's title and the one from which you find other words to end each line of your poem.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist going with a spooky theme again since it's so close to Halloween. :)
Anagram Poem
The Anagram Poems are adopted from the word game puzzles found in several syndicated newspapers. Here's how you do it:
1. Choose a single-word title (longer words work better; aim for eleven letters).
2. Find as many words as you can within that title that contain four letters or more (one-, two-, and three-letter words are not allowed, they're too easy).
3. Write a poem with the same number of lines as there are letters in the title. Each line must end with one of the words contained within the title word, and the poem should address the idea in the title. No two lines may end with the same word. You may not add -s or -ing or -ed or any other suffix or prefix.
(The "s" I added in a couple words is IN the word, so it's okay)
