Hearken! The dogs are barking in the woodland park. Arising from mysterious shadows deep and dark, Phantoms eerily glow in the steamy air, Paranormally rising from their haunted lair, Yet we must go forth on this night if we dare.
Hasten away from domiciles where werewolves creep; Allow not wandering where shadows know no sleep. Light your way with lanterns bright and sing a song; Look to the moon, the stars, and dance the whole night long. O'er field and forest watch witches on brooms fly, While you and I and our friend Lorelei Embrace the spirit of this special night. Ever singing, dancing; not giving way to fright: Not ending our revelry until the morning light.
Well done, Regis! You've really got into the spirit of Halloween with this picturesque offering. Very visual, as befitting the season of lanterns, witches, broomsticks, ghouls and hobgoblins.
Perfect rhyming acrostic, Regis. Your carefully chosen words and images add strength to the piece and give us a true feeling of Halloween. Very well done my friend. ~Hugs and love, Elizabeth
Regis,
I love acrostics and do them with my grandkids. This one was exceptionally good and perfect for the season. Thanks for giving us the gift of your talent.
Happy Halloween!!! Don't eat all the Reeses's peanut butter cups!!!
An acrostic spook fest Regis. Done first class as we have come to expect from your creative pen. Thanks for sharing and happy Halloween my dear friend. Love and peace to you. Jon Michael
I really enjoyed reading this, Reg, Happy Halloween to you! I am hoping to have a moment to write a Halloween poem and also a tribute to Autumn which is my favorite season...in the meantime, I will have to be content to read the great words of my friends here in AD.
Take care,
Sherry
Nice acrostic Regis. Some people just spell out a word or phrase vertically but the content is not about that word or phrase. You on the other hand described exactly what the vertical phrase was about and all while telling a story. Good job! Have a Happy Halloween! :-)
Tasked by his Goddess to find, relocate, and then quicken, the last three Heart Tree gem-seeds, Vanx the bard, and his motley crew of adventurers, set out to do just that.
