Introduction
This is for Poppy's Prompts #3 which you can read about here. I really didn't think I was going to write much today, but this is a good way to kick things off.
It is a villanelle and will contain the following words
- Hail
- Mould
- Vanilla
- Compass
- Spiderweb
❀❀❀❀❀
The music is "Storm The Gates of Heaven" by Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, I know Dharrsheena will love the introduction to this song.
The Crypt
🦇👻☠️⚰️☠️🕸️🕷️
This Is The Place Where The Dead Pass
A Dark Spiderweb Festooned Crypt
Hail The Keeper Of Hell's Compass
☠️⚰️☠️
Vanilla Candles Burned In Glass
Absolve The Odour That Afflicts
This Is The Place Where The Dead Pass
☠️⚰️☠️
Mould On Bodies, Flesh Cannot Last
From This Plane, Their Life Has Now Slipped
Hail The Keeper Of Hell's Compass
☠️⚰️☠️
Prepare For Feast, Maggots And Rats
Spiders Descend As Bodies Stripped
This Is The Place Where The Dead Pass
☠️⚰️☠️
Final Place Is Here For Those Passed
To Dark Oblivion They Slipped
Hail The Keeper Of Hell's Compass
☠️⚰️☠️
Nevermore The Ravens Do Rasp
No Return For Those In This Script
This Is The Place Where The Dead Pass
Hail The Keeper Of Hell's Compass
🦇👻☠️⚰️☠️🕸️🕷️

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Very dark and eery captures the Halloween spirit.
Ooh you really captured that dark eery feel, it seeped out of each and every line. I'd quote my favourite lines back to your but they were all so good I couldn't choose. Really wonderfully crafted Mike!
Heheheheheheh yessss, I loved that introduction! I also loved your dark and creepy Villanelle!
Dharrsheena will love it. Nice take on the challenge, Mike.
Delightfully creepy!
This is great, Mike. Well done.
Hideously well done, with all five prompt words!🤣
Very sinister - loved the raven reference! 🤍
I thought this was going to be something to do with the TV programme "The Crypt'" 😅 Great poem Mike.
