Bats roll
buzzards troll
freaks plague
your tormented soul
and we are waiting.
We dance by day
we dance by night
here to give you
such a fright
and we are waiting.
Brothers and sisters
we are waiting.
mothers and fathers
we are waiting.
sons and daughters
we are waiting.
sons of bitches
we are waiting.
Angels and whores trade places
in a moonlit masquerade
Zombies dance
without any pants
And we are waiting...
for THE NIGHT !

Another excellent write! Inspired to try a Halloween poem after reading your work. Thanks, Timoteo. Great poetry.
ReplyDeleteGreat poetry. Great giggle. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThe Zombies with no pants stopped me short. Nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Halloween poem! Makes me want to wander the night (with a camera and bodyguard)!
ReplyDeleteIf you wait too long, all the Halloween candy will be gone. Fortunately, the chances are good I'll buy more. I like your funny pieces, Tim. A little laughter can often do me a lot of good.
ReplyDeletep.s.: I just read your little profile blurb and I'll have you know that I am often passionately ignorant!
Very interesting.. I enjoyed it so much.. thanks for sharing..

OH la la, I do love this, wow you are so gifted
ReplyDelete"Zombies dance/without any pants"??? That settles it. No Trick-or-Treating for me this year.
ReplyDeleteSo clever! I love this.
KOBICO,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that. I'll be knocking on your door on Halloween, dressed like Pee Wee Herman! You get a pass on the passionately ignorant thing because you are often passionately brilliant as well!
LORRAINE,
Actually I'm a RE-GIFTER, especially at
Christmas time!
PATTI KEN,
Hey, that's just when trick or treating gets to be really interesting! LOL
DUSTUS, JERRY, TERESA, SHASHI:
So nice to see you visiting me again!
And TAMMY, welcome aboard...I'm Captain Steubing!
Creepy goodness! Well done and Happy Halloween! :) ~April
ReplyDeleteGhastly, ghoulish and teriffic!
ReplyDeleteAngels and whores trade places
ReplyDeletein a moonlit masquerade...
My favourite lines!
Great seasonal poem! You put a hump day smile on my face
ReplyDeleteyou write beautiful poetry,
ReplyDeleteyour words ring like wisdom bell.
I heart zombies!
ReplyDeleteI nearly spat my drink at the no pants zombies bit. Freakin' fabulous, my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteO Dear! I hope they will continue to wait forever! They are so scary!
ReplyDeleteAnd Scary they are! Thanks MONA, BETWEENHEARTS75, ERIC, KERRY, STEVEN, JINGLE, MAMA ZEN, and TONY (getting you to spit the drinks is what I aim for!)
ReplyDeleteLike that! Well done ^_^
ReplyDeleteexcellent halloween share...zombies dancing with no pants...imagine the maggots on show!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat would a Halloween boogie be without a few sons of bitches and whores?
ReplyDeletewell that's an exciting, frightening romp!
ReplyDeleteIt is that time of year! How exciting it must be around you on Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAll are in anticipation of Halloween. Gives me the creeps! Nicely Tim!
ReplyDeleteHank
Hallowe'en is rollin' round!
ReplyDeleteKERRY: My favorite kind of folks!
ReplyDeleteLAURA, TERESA, KAYKUALA, PATRICIA: Y'all are so great it's scary!
MARIAN: BOO!
the monster mash....haha...that was my first thought...its a graveyard smash you know....a little undead in your life is not a bad thing though....grins..
ReplyDeleteBringing back the oldies--in more ways than one. You know I love the Halloween spirit in all forms--though I think there is some darkness hiding in your kandy korn--and everyone knows proper attire for the Undead includes (or doesn't)trousers which have rotted off in noisome bits--never a fashion faux-pas from you, Timo
ReplyDeleteOoooh. The repetition of the line "We are waiting" really creates an eerie feeling here. Nice job. I am waiting for that night.
ReplyDeleteLaughing my ass off @ "Sons of Bitches we are waiting"
ReplyDeleteGood stuff
fun..fun..fun...vamping it up -- waiting for The Day, the Man, the Vampira. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteHalloween's approaching! Love this time of year and the poetry it inspires..... Do ya think you could send some of those pantless zombies my way? Not sure what I'll do with 'em but if you can't beat 'em the join 'em, right?
ReplyDeleteWaiting ... Halloween, bla bla bla ... Who cares ... Thousands of miles apart and knowing ... is worth the wait ... hmmm?
ReplyDeleteActualy, there is much more of "bla bla bla" ... to my comment ... Because I'm downright petrified of the the whole Halloween thing here in North America ... There is so much blood and gore going on in the world already ... why, the heck, make this into an annual cheerful game ... I will never understand ... and if I ever meet an adult party goer hallowener on my way to work, I swear I will harm him ...
DeleteEverything you write intrigues me more about you.... a luminous spirit lightening the darkness in the world...xj
ReplyDeleteBRIAN: One of my favorite tunes!
ReplyDeleteHEDGEWITCH: Thanks, darlin. I try to stay on top of it, you know.
MYRNA, FESTIVALKING, BEACHANNY: Thanks so much, gals and ghouls!
JOHN: Pantless zombies seem to be in demand, so I'm starting an agency where you can hire them out for parties and stuff!
CAT: Thanks for your assessment of the poem (bla bla bla!)
JEN: THAT is truly one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me.
the politicians' drippimg fangs
ReplyDeletewith the blood of tax
convulsing in these media prangs
they howl imagined facts
Halloween... introduces election week.
:<) _m
MAGYAR: "Imagined facts" was the key phrase from the debates last night!
ReplyDeletebwahahaha - fun - aloha Timoteo - wow with all those creatures waiting i'm sure glad they are waiting. for that night. i might have to make myself scarce around that time. ...or join them. ha. aloha.
ReplyDeleteRICK: Probably best to join them...I've never seen zombies try to eat each other...they only seem to like regular folks...they look at each other and say, eeeeuuuuwwww...I ain't eatin' THAT!
