The Vortex waited in all of it's anointed virtue rotating with gluttonous glee~like a vagrant vulture ready to suck you into it's abhorrant abyss with a vicious kiss
The ecosphere was fulminating with vociferous volatility and vortex smiled with a wide toothed grin and belched out gaseous laughter then sucked in a few stars and planetoids
Just an appetizer until she would reach her full strength~in which her rotational atomic like force made her vertiginous vacuum suction too strong to resist
Then for the main course the virtuous voracious vortex proceeds to inhale a third part of the Universe~ in an event of Apocalyptic proportions making joyful contortions for which purpose she and Halloween had been born
This poem certainly has Va-va-voom of the portentous kind, Eileen... Unique and spicily alliterated to get the veins voluminous! Great spin on Halloween here, causing us to consider the inter-relationships and deeper relevence and implications of "innocent" evils. Most astutely crafted. K xx
This picture is just lovely and it makes me want to hit the road and take a long well deserved trip.

A "Voluptuous Vortex" indeed! And If that there picture were any larger on my screen, I would be running away!
Nice, Eileen. I'm terrified of severe storms/tornadoes, and this one will feed my nightmare machine...........GAD this is chillingly illustrated and penned!!!!!!!!!! BRAVA!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
And I concur with Karen: a cloud like that ever comes here, we'll be moving in with YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful write, Eileen, but if I ever see a cloud like that here in Texas, I am LEAVING! Yikes! BRAVA; very well done as always!

Oh ...what a stunning composition. Superb alliterations here that create quite a forceful piece when all combined with the pace and clever descriptions. As for the pic...don't think I have ever seen anything quite that striking. Wonderful work Minx - I was blown away ;) Love Impx
An adult haunting for the Halloween what a unique idea. I always think about Halloween from a child's point of view, but to be honest, that stuff doesn't scare me anymore, however...your poem does. Nice work, Eileen, you have taken Halloween's haunting to a new level.
Take care,
Sherry
What an unbelievable photograph! No wonder you were drawn to describe it! WOW. You captured the essence well, and with your ownspecial talent your creativity ran away with it. Well done, Eileen!

Wow! That picture is something else.
Good verse too.
Jack London’s cousin writes a heartwarming, young adult story about the glory of life. It is also a heart-pounding adventure to a new and strange world.
The higher you go into the hills, the deeper the secrets...
A seemingly innocent piece of mail shatters the illusion of Beverly Hills luxury, forcing a terrifying statement from a powerful action movie mogul: "they can't kill us fast enough."
