In the dark, a skeleton stands tall,

A spooky figure, haunting the night,

A ghostly presence, ready to enthrall,

A scream escapes, filled with fright.

A spooky figure, haunting the night,

Whispers of anxiety, in the shadows they creep,

A scream escapes, filled with fright,

Echoing through the darkness, so deep.

Whispers of anxiety, in the shadows they creep,

The howl of the wind, a chilling sound,

Echoing through the darkness, so deep,

Scared souls tremble, all around.

The howl of the wind, a chilling sound,

A ghostly presence, ready to enthrall,

Scared souls tremble, all around,

In the dark, a skeleton stands tall.

    I really like how this pantoum’s repetition works so well with the subject, building the spookiness.
