The Frightful Nightfall

Dressed to kill and daring to die from the wild hayride

only to be forlorn in the labyrinth of corn.

Later to rouse finding yourself trapped in a haunted house.

Blind bobbing for poisoned apples with a broken spine

then expected to dine on bloody punch for all time.

Taking risk you struggle to make your desperate escape!

Drowning in self doubt over fear of being found out

the pumpkins you peruse in attempt to find refuge.

Careful to leave not a trace you pick out the perfect face!

All you had wished to do was begin the night anew

and yet all you have done is doom yourself to assume...

The new noose and tomb of yet another gruesome costume.
