The Carnival of Souls

Just something I felt like writing ^*^

Come one ,come all to one of the most funtastic shows known to man

  The darkness of the Carnival will keep you wanting more

     There are Evil Clowns who throw Cyanide Pies Galore

  On the left you'll see little Susie, the Demon Raggedy Anne

Come with me Kiddies to the Best time of you're life

 The Souls of the other guests will hold you back

    You have something that they lacked

 Your poor little souls aren't riddled with strife

    Join me in the Big top for the main event

The Zombie Clowns will strap you to your chair, oh so tight

  But please, don't give a fight

You my precious Kiddies, are about to be Hell-bent

Oh, but don't scream, you all knew you had to pay the tolls

   Our little game has sadly come to an end

But 'Old Giggling Emmett will always be your friend

  The next time you come to the Carnival of Souls

I LOVE YOUR DARK POETRY. You have a huge talent to instill fear using certain images. I loved this so much, and the carnival theme is so perfect for your dark talent. I am going to binge read everything you've got when I get the chance, because you are my favorite dark/horror poetry author on this whole website.

Thanks so much :D that means so much :3

It starts out quite creepy and then dives straight into a nightmare when you realize that you are part of the carnival to. I love dark poetry it is probably my favorite genre and many of my poems are dark. This poem is fear invoking and the kind of thing nightmares are made of...I very much enjoyed it great job.

Thanks :D I'm so glad you liked it ^*^ for some odd reason dark carnivals always have fascinated me lol, I don't know why :P but anyways, I'm glad you liked it ^*^

Dark Carnivals are a thing to marvel at no doubt. Its like possessed children or haunted toys...the terror is that it is not hard to make these things of seeming innocence quite evil.

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot]

Exactly :D Creatures of fear are created for people who, of course love to be terrified. I hate being jumped out at and stuff like that, make the horror peaceful. Of course, silence is the biggest terror :)

Nice work, I like the sinsiter undertone and how the third verse there is a bit of a turn around where it comes clear that they're not just sitting in the audience watching, but that they have to partake in the play

This actually reminds me of a book my friend lended to me. It's actual title is ''Carnival Of Souls.'' I like it. It's like another version of a carnival of fun and entertainment to the customers. It's the opposite. Fear and Pain. (In my understanding)

I honestly have never heard of that book before lol, actually 2 songs influenced me, I'll leave the links here: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=AO3ms4w_mqY&list=ALBTKoXRg38BDxeECqjnePMY0jT_l65wI2
