13 Nights of Frights (Poem)
Halloween may be over, but its spirit lingers still, or that's the excuse I'm giving my editor. Its been a while since I've uploaded a poem here, but I thought Halloween was the perfect time to do so...then I missed it, whatever here it is.
Enjoy boils, and ghouls (also check out my first Halloween themed poem here, and last years here)!
UPDATE!!! I've done a George Lucas and revised this poem for 2016, instead of creating a brand new post. Enjoy!

13 NIGHTS OF FRIGHTS
"Welcome to Willow
Dowes",
that's what it says on the
sign,
"home to our enormous
cows,
how many can you find?"
It goes on:
"Enjoy the landscape,
and peaceful community,
where the old ways are
long gone,
so come and share our
embraceful unity".
Smearing my claws on the
bulletin,
and cutting in deep with
three marks,
I allow myself a devilish
grin,
and let loose a heinous
bark.
It feels so good to be
back,
in the town that forgot,
an important aspect they
now lack,
will make its spirit
wither and rot.
A lot has changed in
the past thousand years.
Today's folk have given up
the old traditions,
shaking hands and
smiling, its all too queer,
this won't do for their
eternal mission.
Who knew it was to be this
easy?
Me and my brethren will
have a field day,
making what came before
measly,
as we make Earth's
inhabitants pay.
Trapped outside the
mystical dome,
we bided our time to be
let in,
to return to the state
where we roamed,
punishing the descendants
of past sin.
But our return must be
impactful,
a special kind of night,
for this town will have
plenty to mull
over the 13 nights of
frights.
Catchy no? I named it
myself,
and the others doth agree,
that one night isn't
enough for our wealth,
the unlucky number will
make them see.
The moon is in full force,
and us unrepentant hunger,
time to set off the plan,
the course,
and tear this realm
asunder.
Night 1
Make an example of the
cattle,
the green loving herd.
Their demise will sound
off our rattle,
too unspeakable for words.
Night 2
The season bears a
bountiful pumpkin patch,
which the residents
include in parades,
but they won't enjoy when
they hatch
with the evil we invade.
Night 3
Stay out late, hiding in
the cemetery,
and shriek and howl at the
brave.
This'll make those fools
constantly weary,
when they flee from our
ghastly rave.
Night 4
An abandoned home comes
alive,
every even tide.
If negativity is what it
thrives,
lets strap into this ride.
Night 5
Ever hear a voice but
couldn't think where?
Was it in your head, or
down the halls?
Why don't you look up, if
you dare?
Because you're being
watched by our faces in your walls.
Night 6
The news of the town is
the latest victim,
as if nothing could get
worse.
Their rate of survival
appears slim,
stricken with the
activities of our curse.
Night 7
A curfew in effect
hasn't stopped wanderers
in a park.
Now its only a matter of
time to infect,
and fill their hearts with
the dark.
Night 8
A disturbed soul we have
found,
consumed with misanthropy.
Releasing it reveals a
satisfying sound,
for those who delve in
insanity.
Night 9
What's this? These hapless
fools think to flee?
Oh, how it feels me with
glee,
when I see their dashing
hopes,
especially at the end of
the rope.
Night 10
Our sinister range knows
no limit,
for experts perpetrating
in dread.
Watch as the fear rises
within minutes,
and these citizens wishing
they were dead.
Night 11
From house to house we
haunt these premises.
With this experience in
life now a scar,
it'll be long before they
forget us menaces,
as our influence is felt
from afar.
Night 12
For those wishing to call
for help,
wouldn't it be a shame if
their lines fell?
Upon hearing the madness
they'll surely yelp,
listening to voices
burning in hell.
Night 13
Celebrating the final
scare,
while these inferiorities
grieve.
We march the streets in
our own fair,
because tonight lands on
All Hallows Eve.
Oh, what joy it gives when
they scream.
The horror, the terror,
the fear,
its better than I could've
dreamed,
and makes our howls form
as a cheer.
But don't think this is
over,
we're only getting
started.
Things will never go back
to the way they were,
when the portals to both
worlds are parted.
No, us dark ones are here
to stay.
We've been gone for too
long,
you humans always have it
your way,
time for you to listen to
our songs.
