In your house of disillusion behind the weathered vanes the wind will howl while demons crawl calling out your name
In a quiet moment tucked snugly in your bed you'll pray that angels save you from the voices in your head
But sleep won't bring you comfort nor refuge in a dream You'll pace the halls and scratch the walls in a silent scream
A statue with a face of horror that's all you'll be and nothing more Trapped inside the frozen lake no prayers will help no soul to take
Underneath the icy sheet where Virgil tread with steady feet where demons scowl and Cwn Annwn howl will be your final Trick-or-Treat......
Oh...and you'll find the hot chocolate, nutmeg and cinnamon in the cupboard, Brandy in the wet-bar, and milk in the fridge...
...And if you'd like, you can sign up now for a very special Elving workshop with Santa as the guest speaker. Best to book now as spaces are filling up quickly this year...
Of course we do require a small deposit... say your soul???
The best of the best! I love the way you managed to tie my two favorite seasons together in this one and the cadence...a balance between sweet domesicality and fear is excellant. Light but with just the right backdrop of fear.
Well done Edwin.
I enjoyed your hellish humor mixed with icy lakes frozen by " Cwn Annwn". In the spirit of Menwy the bard, you have captured the essensce of Prydain. Enjoyed
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.
Be safe,
Karen
Do they serve Bloody Mary's at the wet bar? (lol)
Well done Edwin.

Love, the finale!;-)

Aw HELLno. I'll scream loud enough to wake the undead! What a chilling poem--a claustrophobic feel to taut lines, effectively penned. Thanks.
If I have nightmares, I'm blaming YOU!! Well done.
((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla. *shivers*
Happy Halow's eve!
