The trees ripped off their leaves last night
And reached up to eat the moon
And gouged out the flickering starry light
So the ruined castle was painted black
Against the weighty nothingness of fear
And in the crypt the coffin lid creaked back

Nice spooky description. I like the "weighty nothingness of fear".
ReplyDeleteSpookily well written! Stay clear of the crypt!
ReplyDeleteloved how you have described the scene ..... creaky coffin lids are not my cup of tea
ReplyDeleteLove how those trees can eat the moon ~ An amazing halloween scene...creaking and creepy ~
ReplyDeleteWow! I love this! It's so creepy and dark. I love the imagery of the trees, specifically how they seem to become monsters in the moonlight. (:
