Halloween

These are Halloween poems: dark poems and scary poems about skeltons, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, witches, mummies, goblins and other things that go bump in the night.

Thin Kin
by Michael R. Burch

Skeleton!
Tell us what you lack ...
the ability to love,
your flesh so slack?

Will we frighten you,
grown as pale & unsound,
when we also haunt
the unhallowed ground?

The Witch
by Michael R. Burch

When it comes to Doctor Frankenstein and I, people certainly don't admire us.
When Frankenstein built me, he used my brain after I died from the Coronavirus.
The angry villagers come after me with pitchforks and guns.
I fear I'll be destroyed when those frightened people are done.
I heard nothing but screams when I contacted my wife.
People want to destroy me so I have to run for my life.
My wife and others hate me because I look like a monster but I'm a peaceful man.

The beast neighs, piercing the thick evening air

With his cry of protest.
