It's Hollowing screams night
amidst charcoal drenched skies,
illuminated by a florescent moon.
Eerie winds whisk across
the earth in echoes of
screeching madness.
As bitter frost fragment
chattering teeth of fearful
lads scurrying about for treats.
A presence of forboding danger
lurks around each corner.
News of a night slashers
travel on the winds of rumor,
causing panic.
Mothers cleave hold to their
tiny tots in a state of mystic glare.
As howling dogs serenade the moon
and darkened skies roam
within clouds of captivity.
Surreal costumes add horrorfic
flair to the nights excitement,
like a scene from Thriller.
As frantic moon worshippers
chant gloomy lullaby's
of enchantment.
Awaiting the prince of darkness
to reek havoc upon innocent
prey of amusement.
On this day of days
known as Holloween night.

Thank you for your entry
Spooky, definitely have some frightening imagery in there. I feel this could have benefited from being seperated into stanzas though. It is a little overwhelming all in one stanza.
Thank you for entering. Good luck in the contest and thank you for following the rules.
I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment
Happy Halloween and God Bless
