Haunted Carnivals

by Jessica   Sep 23, 2006


Black ominously closing in on the joyous sun
Wheels slowly spin and creek in the silent wind
The ghostly nights haunting has unfortunately begun
Joy and happiness, against a wall is forcefully pinned..

Lurking grimly in the shadows, gleefully they emerge
Cans and papers skidding across the graveyard of pleasure
Eerie noises, wicked spirits, slowly the area they submerge
Sinister figures wander the carnival grounds at their leisure..

Prowling the area, searching for bodies of their own
Popcorn machines and rides they leave their marks upon
Slowly the sun rises again, hunting they have to postpone
Pure evil yet also good, the haunted carnival lives on..

    It was a nice dark poem that I would suggest turning into a short story, it might sound better that way. You have some unique descriptions to set your tone.
