ALL HALLOWS EVE

They rise from a sleepy
hollow on a long dark
October day , pacify
the evil in an age old
pagan way.

Fed by superstition
meaning lost through
tradition to a modern
rendition of an old world
satanic way .

Stories and tales of
banshees that wail
the dead don't beg for
mercy no grave to pray
the creed .

Past, present its history
from the dark ages of
time its mystery.

All Hallows Eve

I love that first stanza, the use of 'They' conjurers up a myriad of evil things! "...of an old world satanic way" - this gave me a cold and icy image - superb! And a great summing up stanza at the end. All in all a damn fine job my friend. Don't get spooked this weekend!!

Mistakes!

I tried as much as I could to find a mistake, and found a huge one which could potentially ruin the write! "tradition to a modern" - one space too many between 'to' & 'a' - totally shocking! LOL!
