Crunch

peto

Midnight October thirty first

Although he saw himself as cursed 

The witch he dared to do her worst 

Is cackling with delight 

 

She spoke in tongues of ancient lore 

The earth shook as a thunderous roar

Hinted at what she had in store 

For him to face that night 

 

She lead him to the graveyard"s gate 

Demonic guards refused to wait 

She served him to them on a plate 

All three demand a bite

 

Forked lightning ripped apart the sky 

Inside hell's creatures caught his eye 

His terror hits a brand new high 

When led into the site

 

The devil rose up from his throne 

Recieved the gift and thanked the crone 

Flayed off the skin and crunched the bone

Extinguishing his light

    We share cannibalistic Halloween poems today my friend. We must be on the same track. A most enjoyable read very well crafted with just enough element of dark humor to season it well. Loved it

        This is why I stay away from graveyards at this time of year.
        Bad enough the dead walking about, but the devil with that big fork eating people, just not on.

          Don't the dark nights just add to the mystique at this time of year

          Well done, my friend, your poem revolves around themes of fate, horror, and the consequences of confronting dark forces. The protagonist faces a dire and gruesome fate at the hands of a witch and demonic entities, ultimately leading to his demise.
