Soul Appearance by Joanne Faries
eyes glowed pink
moonlight reflected
ghostly skin
pale man reveled
in his appearance
stared boldly into
children’s faces
bared skeletal chest
white hair shock
so pale, it was blue
harvest moon glare
strangers admired his
costume, blood slathered
carving knife
dripped
dripped
dripped
Are we sure it was a costume?
ReplyDeleteOooh...
ReplyDeleteOh my! So spooky. That was great!
ReplyDeleteOooh, deliciously creepy poem. I really like your decorations... more whimsical than scary.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Fun decorations! I'm glad I didn't run into this gruesome killer. He might have gotten away with it too, if he cleaned up after himself. What a "drip!" A spooktacular poem, Joanne!
