THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN... T3M's LIGHTNING CHALLENGE...


In dark of night 
the light of the moon 
 pounding of hooves 
arriving soon 
 rider in black 
phantom of fear 
headless and heartless 
ever so near 
nowhere to run 
 hurry and hide 
the headless horseman 
is on his ride 
lightning flashes
he takes his toll
thunder crashes 
heads will roll.

I LOVE IT!!! Delightfully spooky, and the poem is wonderful. I can just hear it being read with ominous organ music in the background!!

Whoo whoo - it's very spooky & tighning wit a lot of ghost-feeling!
And I like the surreal in this. ;-)
Reminds me a little of the end of Goethe's "Erlkönig" (means "alder king).
Best wishes
Katrin
