Raising Cain

Just some wicked fun for Halloween

  

Pumpkin heads

Ready to strike

For their orange layer

Hides rattlesnake skin

Just one of my many tricks

This Hallows eve.

 

Fog rolls in over

Sacred ground

As I summon the dead

To creep in low

Befriending the little ones

Before taking their souls.

 

Then it’s my turn to rise

Harnessing my vampire lust

Craving something sweet

To rush through my veins

She’ll be young and pretty

And oh so naïve

As I seduce her to the dark side.

 

That’s right it’s my time

To have a little fun

So tonight I am raising Cain

For I have always been Able

For way to long.

Seems you've celebrated Hall owe'en already with this poem?!

It's good, fine metre and phrasing.. ' Fog rolls in over / Sacred ground / As I summon the dead / To creep in low / Befriending the little ones / Before taking their souls.' that's plain evil.

As to the remainder, well, what can i say, as a p oem you've conjured up some weird pictures but very much in keeping with the 'celebrati on' - if that's what it is lol.

I d on't like the time, it's bec ome something it wasn't meant to be and, so commercialised in the UK. Personally I think h ouseholders ought to be able to trick the callers ! (joke - I love children!)

Anyway, thank y ou... good to see your writing is back to scratch! Thanks for sharing..

lol cute twist on the words Cain and Able.. don't go too far to the darkside ok? :P we don't celebrate Halloween here although they do have decorations on sale, most people don't go as far as Americans do seeing as its an American holiday. i have found a lot more kids each year knocking on my door for candy... bloody cheapskates don't even wear a costume..lol

Whoa, I really like the slick play on words! I love this Cowboy!

Yes a little different for you but still skillfully written and entertaining to read. It has a hppy up beat mood, which is clean a fresh.

As always another excellent write.
