There, in the frightful cemetery,
stalks hundreds of corpses.
The

spine-chilling mausoleum,

that’s not too far, gleams
with the

smell of death,

as for once gone in,

never to come out.
Bloodcurdling spirits

rise from their tombs,

moldy bones
tumbling.
As we run,

Evil treats fly,
and
devil worshiping
jack-o-lanterns gobble anything that ushers by,
now as we hide in the
musty,
spooked basement, silver
werewolves howl,
warty witches chortle,
and,
bloodsucking vampires devour the children with sugar
coaxed blood.

The author's comments:
I originally wrote this for English class. We had to write a Halloween poem using adjectives such as "spine-chilling" etc. I hope the people that read this get a picture in their mind of the horrifying event because even though this is highly unlikely, many people that are being abused in anyway generally feel like this is happening.
