Happy Halloween

Finally! Happy Halloween!!!





Death calls upon those from their eternal sleep,
As the moon shines down this chilly night,
And thus begins the dawn of Hallow's Eve,
Unleashing all fear and fright.

Out, from the filthy mounds of earth,
At the end of every October,
To dance once more with the ones they love,
Before returning to their deathly slumber.

Corpses and skeletons dance the darkness away,
As the melody of their cracking bones fill the night,
The air is dense with putrid decay,
And the cemetery is a gruesome sight.


According to the ancient superstition, Death appears at midnight every year on Halloween and he has the power to call forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle. His skeletons and corpses dance for him until the first break of dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year. The dance was called La Danse Macabre, the dance of death.

P.S. I still love my previous poem more.
P.P.S. I'm a huge fan of Halloween!
