Auto-Ghoul or 300,007 Years Bad Luck (Written at Samhain/Halloween 2025)

AuburnScribbler

Dim the way,

keep it dark,

play old soundtrack

screaming park,

 

let proud growls,

write the book,

blood in moonlight’s

quite a look

 

for chaste is poor,

devil’s rich,

see more smiles,

in the pitch -

 

lo’ beacons; gone,

thus, no sight,

all, so pure;

must make a fight,

 

stir the means,

that make a man,

no god is mentioned

in this plan

 

for mirror’s smashed,

decline; neglect,

as true beast,

does not reflect!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Despite still not being 100 %, I thought I would write a little something pertinent to the season. This little "gothic" poem does not mention any typical creature associated with Halloween, but of course, tells the horror story of a true beast that still calls itself "the custodian of the planet", us! Like the symbolic candles in the banner picture, I hope that we can truly reclaim a base, strong and wholesome light, to override such a prolonged, orchestrated, grotesque celebration of over-complication, division and dissatisfaction. I hope to share more seasonal and more positive words with you, I hope that enjoy the poem, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.
