Things That Go "BOO" in the Night - a Quadrille
dVerse #233: Bring on the Boo!
"...just 44
words, including some form of the word boo."
I was having so much fun with this one I forgot it was to be only 44 words! It is now...
On Hallowe’en night
when the Goblins appear,
window glass rattles,
we cower in fear.
Ghosts and Ghoulies
moan “BOO” up the stairs
,
dragging their chains
into human affairs.
In the dark hallways,
Ghouls and Wraiths wait,
while Banshees and Hellhounds
howl at the gate.

I love the rhyming scheme - adds to the sense of occasion1 Jae
ReplyDeleteThose ghouls sure do like:
ReplyDelete"dragging their chains
into human affairs."
Great as a metaphor as well.
