PA prompt: Spooky

Spooky
A cobbled street in the fog
Spiders, snakes, a three-headed dog
A hoot of an owl, a squeak of a mouse
Creaky stairs in a haunted house

Ogres, goblins, ghosts and bats
Glowing eyes of witches’ cats
Vampires, zombies, devils, demons
Wandering spirits, frightened screamin’

Skeletons dancing in the moonlight
Rattling chains in the deep of night
Specter in a mirror, a gnarly tree
Fanged creatures, a whispered plea

An empty coffin, eyes with no pupils
Beasts and aliens with no scruples
Quickening footsteps on a shady path
Beauty contestants on teaching math
