DARK POETRY ~ “Horror ABCs” by Tina McFarlane

With Halloween coming up soon, I thought that I would have some fun.

 

A is for acid, and melting of flesh

B is for burning, getting rid of the rest

C is for corpse, who insides are rusting

D is for demon, all pea soup and cussing

E’s for electrocute, tied to a chair

F is for Freddy, fall asleep if you dare

G is for ghastly, ghouls and ghosts

H is for horror, which we love the most

I is for It, the clown with the smile

J is for Jigsaw, who’s actions are vile

K is for killer, every horror needs one

L is for lunatic, lock him up when he’s done

M is for monsters, both big ones and small

N is for Norman, who lived with his Ma

O is for Ogre, tearing skin with his teeth

P is for petrified, ‘cause you are the meat

Q is for quarantine, don’t let them get free

R is for Raven, the classic Poe story

S is for sinister, when Hitchcock was king

T is for tomb, full of lots of dead things

U’s for undead, who rise from the mire

V’s for what else? The immortal vampire

W’s for Weird Tales, and stories fantastic

X is for Xenomorph, the Alien classic

Y is for yelling, as you pass out from fright

Z is for zombies, watch out they can bite
