Rise of the Banshee

Dedicated to the haunted!



Twas Halloween,
She had to be seen..

The rise of the Banshee,
'Rose' up to scare me..

In tattered white death robes,
Her wail blew my ear lobes..

The graveyard shift,
Stones went adrift...

The grim reaper in female form,
Ashen and very torn..

Rising as if in levitation,
A banshee sensation!

Spectres emerged through dark trees,
Ghosts of the past if you please...

The dead and undead haunt,
Their ghostly form they flaunt..

The graveyard gates swung open wide,
Toward me came the ghostly bride..

Murdered brutally on her wedding day,
Now unrested in torment they say..

Screaming, wailing, rising,
Eerie ambiance 'chilling'...

I froze to death,
Joined them after my last breath.

My name was 'Rose MacGooghan in life,
I wasn't long his wife!

Am I you or am I me,
I am now the Banshee!

A recycled soul back to haunt,
My former self to me I flaunt.

When I died,
A 'Solitary Tear' was cried!

      Thanks Millions!

      Thanks millions, for your fab and kind review you are very inspiring and encouraging.
      Glad you liked it. It is a great honour to enter your wonderful contest thanks for the honour and the privalege. Didn't want to chill you too much as that would cause you to burn more house fuel putting the heating on! Glad you liked the 'Solitary' mention!
      I am basically a writer of satire so I always seem to write with a humourous edge!
      Hope you win gold in all your contests you well deserve to your work is excellent. Best of luck to you too!
      Poetic Hugs and Thanks Millions,
      Kaz.
