At Collinwood

From a dark place high atop Widow’s Hill,

There stands a family mansion called Collinwood.

A place where the supernatural is commonplace,

Where there is always something evil going on at Collinwood.



And within it’s great halls stalk the tormented residents of the estate.

There are ghosts, witches, and werewolves,

Even a regretful vampire named Barnabas.

Where there is always something evil going on at Collinwood.



There are stories of duels, reincarnation, and possession.
Tales of unrequited love, curses, and spells.

With reports of voodoo, black magic, and sorcery,

Where there is always something evil going on at Collinwood.



Frankenstein doctors and vagabond gypsies,

Dismembered hands of evil Counts.

Séances, skeletons in walls, and exorcisms,

Where there is always something evil going on at Collinwood.

    Ooh very gothic. You've really capture the essence of Collinwood in this poem. Love the picture of Barnabas too.

      Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the poem. I thought there were not many original Dark Shadows fan left but I guess there will always be a few around.
