"This Place is Haunted " by Annabelle & M Via Flickr: FOR MABS DRAW HALLOWEEN CLUB DAY 24 PROMPT ~ WINGED ~ ACRYLIC PAINTING ON 5 X 5 CANVAS LOVE THIS POEM BY Richard Jones "This Place is Haunted" "In screaming woods and empty rooms or gloomy vaults and sunken tombs; Where monks and nuns in dust decay and shadows dance at close of day. II Where the bat dips on the wing and spectral choirs on breezes sing; Where swords of ancient battles clash and shimmering shades for freedom dash. III Where raging storms at midnight howl and distant rolls of thunder growl. Where the hounds of hell take flight and ghost clouds race across the night. IV Where silver webs of spiders weave and star-crossed lovers take their leave. Where curses lay the spirits low and mortal footsteps fear to go. V Where death holds life in grim embrace its lines etched on the sinner's face. Where e'er the march of time is flaunted voices cry - "this place is haunted." " © (1999) Richard Jones
