This Ghoulish Night
Prompt words in red.

| P L Chadwick / Ancient & modern in the Crypt at Buildwas Abbey |
What a ghoulish night.
The buried arise from within the crypt
to spin their spells into tricks.
Tricks of the un-dead.
The wicked wind wraps
it’s gnarly fingers
into all living beings
this ghoulish night.
Forced to breathe in the frigid spells,
the tricks, this night.
This ghoulish night,
when un-dead things
under wicked spells,
wrap their gnarled fingers
in the cracks of the crypt,
prying their freedom,
to wreak havoc,
to spin in the wind
and feed.
What a ghoulish night to be dead
or alive.

Your delightfully wicked prose would make a great chant for a witch's spell. :)
