MY HALLOWEEN POEM

Here is my Halloween poem.  It will surprise you all!  Enjoy!

LATE NIGHT DELIGHT (thanks to Poe’s Raven)

Once upon a midnight dreary, searching the internet, my eyes grew bleary,

and soon the words were dancing on the screen that I viewed.

Briefly nodding, nearly falling, suddenly my skin was crawling,

as if a spirit hovered near, setting off a fearful mood.

‘There’s nothing there,’ I whispered,

‘only thoughts misconstrued,

Only this and nothing more.’

As my fingers remounted the keys, suddenly I sensed a breeze,

and my eyes slowly glanced around my gloomy room.

Timidly I chanted a prayer, hoping there were no phantoms there,

as shivers crept up my spine, and the room felt like a tomb;

‘Stop this imagining!  Stop all this doom and gloom!

It’s in your mind, and nothing more.’

I observed the computer screen, and was shocked at the scene,

performed in graphic detail before my very eyes.

I viewed me seated in my chair, totally enrapt and unaware,

of a macabre creature standing silent behind me.

Far too frightened to look behind, and too terrified to flee-

‘There’s only me here, nothing more!’

Then the scene showed this specter, suck my blood like it were nectar,

and I heard an arousing moan as my spirit was transformed.

Next I viewed me turn and kiss the demon with corporeal bliss,

and soon we fell upon the bed and, well, …we performed.

As I watched, my fear was gone, and my cold body it had warmed-

‘Oh my goodness, please, I want more!’

Suddenly the screen went black, and I gave it a whack,

hoping to continue the scene that played before my eyes.

Pleadingly I loudly prayed, for a miracle to pervade,

and waken my computer from this untimely demise.

Nothing could make it work, it was dead I did surmise-

‘As usual, I’m left wanting more!'
