HALLOWEEN DREAM

I don't remember just how old I was when I wrote this poem but I believe I was in my mid-teens. I hope it puts you in the Halloween spirit :~)

A brilliant light that defies the night
Blinding all reality from my sight
Unknown forces control my flight
They throw me about like a wind cast kite
Then into the depths of a darkened pit
With a scream of pain the bottom I hit
And gaze at the thrown where I now sit
From the shadows blaze a pair of fiery red eyes
In the distance, I hear blood-curdling cries
To find a logical explanation my mind tries
And erupts with anger to fight these lies
Shadows of forms and figures dance on the wall
Through the icy wind, my name they call
While closer to me they seem to crawl
Then upon the floor, lifeless shadows fall
Hollow laughter from eyes began to ring
Then a voice that proclaims me as king
Rise oh mighty master of destruction
And lead our fight for corruption
For Halloween is a mass deception
Countless souls shall fall into our possession
I scream to drowned out the voice
Demanding good or bad I have the choice
I open my eyes and the pit is no more
I stand safely behind my locked door
Wondering was it, could it truly be
A piece of Halloween inside of me
Bear

Author's Note

I leave most punctuation to the reader that they can read the poem in their own meter, mood and motility. I thank you for taking the time to read my work.

I love it! Although there's one spelling/ grammatical thing i noticed. You used 'thrown' as in the verb in place of 'throne' which is a chair where royal people sit. Last thing i noticed was the line 'I scream to drowned out the voice' should either be ' I screamed to drown out' i think. Overall it was a great piece and i liked the effect. Keep on writing!

Thank you and you are absolutely right, I wondered how long it would be before someone caught it, if you look under the title I even left a hit to the wrong spelling. Every now and them I leave a mistake just to see if people really read or just skim through. I still plan on getting back to your site and reading more of your work :~)

Thank you for stopping by, it is not all that hard if you just ask your self the right questions. read moreThank you for stopping by, it is not all that hard if you just ask your self the right questions.
What was the first thing you noticed about this picture? Now you have the title of a poem.
What does this picture make you feel? You have what the poem is about.
Describe what's special about the cast of character in the picture? You have the first line.
what do you think they are doing and why? You have the second line.
What do you think will happen when they all go their separate ways? And the last line.
Now fill in the blank lines between the second and last line and you have your own poem. The nice thing about this is that people see the same things differently so your poem will be different from mine. Give it a try and be sure to let me know so i can come and read it :~)
