Witches Moon

By: Wayne Brown
The incessant creak of an empty rocker
In another space
The sound of whispers down the hall
Things haunt this place
A turning doorknob; a creaking hinge
Footsteps on the porch
Scratching sounds on panes of glass
Visions of a burning torch
Blood dripping from the bathroom spigot
Drumming on the basin
Clock chimes the midnight hour
The time for haunting hastens
A chorus of voices cry from the cellar
Screams of awful pain
Thunder rattles; rain falls; lightning flashes
The rattling of dungeon chains
Steps cross the hardwood floor, slow and loud
Heard from an empty room
The rain stops and the dark clouds clear
Exposing a witch’s silver moon
A hag’s black cauldron boils with a mystic brew
Hidden in a secret space
Images bubble upon the brewing surface
Fearing hearts begin to race
A spell is cast; a fate is sealed; on this moonlit night
The hag’s desires will commence
Hearts beats loud as the imagination creates
Things out of nothing adding to the suspense
In the distance the curdling howl of the wolf-man
The moon lights his way
Blood-thirsted desire is upon his breath
His killings will come before light of day
Vampire bat with wings of black flying in the night
Transforming into human things
Fangs hidden behind his smiling lips
Until the victim feels their sting
The witch’s moon hangs in the sky glowing ever so bold
The cauldron bubbles with evil keen
The witch’s moon; a large silvery, evil orb
Lighting the evils of this night; the night of Halloween

This was very eerie and perfect for Halloween, Wayne. "Blood dripping from the bathroom spigot?" Whew! That's some loo!
So many scary lines. Not sure which/witch is my favorite.
Things out of nothing adding to the suspense
I know one's imagaintion can play tricks.
Maybe tonight is one time sleeping alone is not preferred. Ha!
Spooky, lyrical read. Am glad I'm staying in tonight. Thanks for a visit to the world of witches, ghosts, werewolves and evil spirits. It was a chilling delight.
Voted up, awesome and interesting.
Watch out, Wayne - you could have created the Halloween classic version of The Grinch. Well done and ever so spooky!
Excellent, Wayne! Maybe we'll read this one to the kids!
Perfect hub for today. :)
Love Halloween therefore love this hub. Voted up.
Have to love Halloween. By the way, eerily scary poem. I love it! I love the dark side. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. Heeeeheeee!
Trying to pull a fast one on me Huh WB? You can't post a witchy tale on the hubs without me getting to see it first. Good job my friend, I think I like what this season brings out in your writings. Happy Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Samhain, Sowen and All Saints Day. May your ghosts be corpreal, and your goblins be candy coated. Blessed Be WB.
Keep On Hubbing. Blake4d
