I thought a little classic Shakespear would be fitting
I hope that in a chair, you're sitting...

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd
Thrice and once the hedgepig whin'd
Harper cries: 'Tis time, 'tis time.
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights hast thirty one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hellbroth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witche's mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd saltsea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark
Liver of blasphemer too,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips,
Finger of birthstrangled babe
Ditchdeliver'd by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Good call Wolfman, but I would have claimed it; chances are someone here might have thought you wrote it.

Thanks for classin' up the joint!

Moon rises
Turns the tide
Casts silvery shadows
Fills me inside

Stripped naked
Muscles tight
Poised hunter
Feeds tonight

In the distance
A lonely wolfÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s bay
I hunt not for meat
You are my prey

Your face in my mind
Your scent in the air
Your body is mine
My senses prepare

To dine on your skin
Drink of your lips
Feast on your beauty
Reach for your hips

Surrender so sweet
As the world slumbers
Natural and raw
The wolf feeds his hunger

GoodNESS...the way you guys seem to just toss out these amazing pieces of visual imagery leaves me in awe. My poetically-challenged self would have to really sit down and give it some thought to come up with something a third as good.

Oh, no... I'd hate to have someone recognize it, and it come back and bite me in the tail. Nope, Wolfie does not claim Shakespeare as his own works. Even if the copywrite HAS gasped it's last.

Doc, dude, I just saw your Haunted Horseman poem. I feel honored

That's AWESOME. I love it.

I'm printing it out and hanging it near my computer. You really are a master, my friend.

As always, Laurie, thanks so much for the encouragement, you are too kind.

Damn man, that's really nice of you to say. I still say it pales compared to your piece but I'm glad you liked it.

Your eyes so bright
They shine like candles
Brightly flickering they warm me

Your smile so soft
It covers my sadness
From the world it protects me

I want to feel your pleasures my dear
I want to taste your delights
I want to swim in waves of passion this Halloween Night

A witchÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s brew
You have slipped me
Enchanted I fall for you

Be my Cleopatra
IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll be your Marc Antony
Bewitched I fall for you

Your lips like rubies glisten for me
They dance like autumn fire light
I want them to consume me this Halloween Night

Mmmm...quite speechless am I on that one, Dr...

Your words do have a certain power to them, don't they...

The Dark Prince of Halloween
Has chosen me to be his queen

He arrived one night by candlelight
a handsome visage in my sight

Upon one knee he offered me
a kingdom farther than I could see

He spoke so softly with alot of charm
and soon I fell into his arms

His strong soft lips devoured mine
and I felt as though I was drinking wine

Swooning in my lovers grasp
I did not know how much time had passed

When I awoke the sun did rise
and I saw the nature of his lies

For in my lap was a pumpkin shell
with a face I could surely tell

belonged to the prince that I had seen
Maybe he will come back next Halloween
