Witches, Vampires, Spectres too, just so you know I'm not scared of you.
Werewolves, Zombies things that go boo, this year I'm prepared and know just what to do.

I used my brains this time you see, went to the sale in HMV, stocked up on horror DVDs, like The Omen, Demons and even Buffy!

Got my garlic and my silver brought my Bible for the ride. I'm gonna make you hate the day that you first up and died.
So you better stay away, go on run and hide, Dracula I'm sorry, I've got daylight on my side.

I'm fed up with these hauntings, bitings, you all know who you are, and you've had this advance warning so make sure that you go far.

This Halloween it's payback, yes this girl has had enough, so I'm out to get you evil lot, I dare you call my bluff!

I truly loved this whole poem but the ending is humorous and a bit of a shock.

The hoot of the owl
a rustle in the trees
A sense of evil
in the autumn breeze

The hair on your neck
begins to stand
at the base of your spine
the touch of a hand

The stench of death
makes your nostrils flare
the whatever behind you
pulls aside your hair

Dare you try to run
there' no thrall involved
If you had a knife
then the problem solved

then you feel the breath
pass across your nape
you have no choices now
only death or escape

you reach inside yourself
And you run like the wind
hear the footfalls echo
Hear the panting begin

It's your home ahead
can you make it there
Your heart it pounds
you become aware

this thing behind you
it wants you dead
Your leading it home
Where you lay your head

Should you live in fear
for the rest of your life
Or do you face this thing
without gun or knife

The steps grow closer
your hesitation your end
as your spun in your tracks
and stare in shock at your friend

What a creep what a ^&@#*^@($%@
you hear yourself say
can't believe that you did that
Leave my side, go away.

Turn your back on your buddy
Curse his name, what the heck
And jerk as in seizure
His fangs deep in your neck

Feel your life force waning
Hear his growl in your ear
know that this time tomorrow
You'll be joining him here.

Too late for reaction
too late for a cure
If you wake up a Vampire
Your buddies dead meat for sure

lol couldnt help it, have fun guys!

He takes his first bite
revelling
in the warm flow of blood
coursing into his veins
revitalising
the fibre
of his being
as the life drains
from his hapless victim
seduced
by the
rapacious charm
of a gallant stranger
on a cold Whitby night
unaware of
the legend of
Dracula

A gnarled, grasping hand
emerges from the blackened pit
in search of blood sacrifice
to satisfy its appetite

It flexes its skeletal fingers
as it prepares to catch a passerby unaware
and reduce them to
burned wisps of smoking hair

A dejected monster
born out of a God's cruel jest
a half human Frankenstein creation
full of pain and suffering and loss
doomed to a life
of loneliness and terror
driven by instinctive blood lust
and denied comfort
prowls the foul smelling labyrinth
scattered with the
bones of sacrifice
lovesick for the cool
of the midnight moon

The witch's potent brew
Was clear as a crystal
One sip will give you a clue
Rendering you not even able to whistle

Laying quietly on the floor
Your skin now wrinkled and sallow
the witch silently walks in door
And says you shouldn't have been so shallow

You think ye a gallant knight
With a heart of pure gold
That your soul shone with a bright light
When truly your heart empty and cold.

Love nor kindness were ever intact
Conceit was the true feeling that reigned
The brew, from this, did quickly react
With these new looks, just try to be vein.

if you like this you should read some of the others in the group called creative poetry. I started the group not long after I became a member on here. There is also a group called Complete the sentence and word of the day you might like even if it is just to read what other posted and I started an event called short paranormal and scary stories. I posted a story in the event yesterday. If you read it sorry about all the typos lol

Black Passion

Black lace falls to the floor
As blood glides down her neck
Passion opening a new door
As two bodies intersect

Gloomy hours have long passed
As her immortal lover holds her close
A binding that will always last
But appears ominious to most

Her vampire will always be
Near when she needs his touch
Why can't the others see
That he loves her so much
