All Souls Eve

Chains are rattling , bones are creaking, blood is flowing and spirits are battling.

Pumpkin lanterns all a glow, bats and owls in flight.Ghouls and witches readying out to go.

Evil spectres and vampires take to flight , zombies stir and stretch all are preparing for a wicked night.

Moans and groans all around echoing making spooky sound. It is no use to pray this day, all unholy things come out to play.

Will we all survive the night , with mind and soul intact or will we loose them and our hair turn grey all our sense taken flight.

Is that Vlad I see planning bad things wickedly he is not to be ignored he may look cute but he can dissect humans and animals alike when he gets bored! At his side his best friend, Death leading his horse, stalks on the look out for souls . He loves these walks!

Little children unaware of the dangers lurking there. Cruse through the streets knocking on doors for tick or treat collecting untested Halloween fare. There may be real evil spirits behind those doors hiding . What out for the Grim Reaper out on his horse a riding.

So my dear friends I bid you safe , at this time of loss of faith. Hold on fast to your hearts and souls be careful demons don’t remove your blood into bowls. Tortures horrendous can await behind each door or garden gate. You do not want your guts removed and served to you upon a plate!

So there is just one thing left to do. Climb on my broomstick and bid you well and safe from all the slavering hounds of hell!

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light ?? I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits. View all posts by willowdot21

Thanks lady Pen, I can imagine those hounds would make a mess of your wonderful gowns! And the bat dropping are not easy to wash out!! The cat also hates them fluttery things!! Never mind it is only one weekend isn’t it. So I bid you happy lady Pen
with hugs from willow the wisp ( witch of these parts ) ;0) xxxxx

willowdot21,

This is sooooooo gooooood! Just a perfect Halloween poem. The reference to Vlad makes this less generic, but still a great candidate for an illustrated anthology!

Thank you , Vlad is a tad upset by your remark but I placated him with some chocolate. :o) xx
