Through the moonlit glass
The silhouette of a beast
I can’t even scream

The following is to the tune of My Favorite Things (see video link below):

Cobwebs and coffins and mad English boffins
Poisons and potions and broomsticks in motion
Demon possession and medieval kings
These are a few of the creepiest things

Empty ship galleys and misty dark alleys
Zombies and mummies and candy-wrecked tummies
Fog covered marshes and kelpies that sing
These are a few of the creepiest things

Goths in black dresses with purple-dyed tresses
Bonfire ashes on kohl-smudged eyelashes
Crosses and gravestones and occult playthings
These are a few of the creepiest things

When the bat bites
When the bug clings
When I’m feeling sad
I can’t help but remember the creepiest things
And then I feel just so terribly bad

Light the black candles and break out the ouija board. Summon your creative spirits and slide your creepiest, crawliest, chillbumpiest seventeen syllable locution over to the Haiku Hub “Haiku This: Creepy” prompt.

Entries will be judged.
