It was a pleasent little town
Never been here before
I tipped my drink to sip it down
Early yet only quarter to four
Music played the man in black
An old time jute box of long ago
I listen and watch the waxed disk drop a little black plack
Red and yellow the jute box glowed
The locals were polite,but subdued
I'll have another joe and a chaser
A wirey man walked over "I see your new"
Yeah ! I came off the highway onto a road called Parker
"Thats the only road in and out of town"
What's your name
Have you lived here long
"Stine is my fame"
We talked for awhile
I stared at the scar on his forehead and his unseemingly grin
A weird little smile
"You gonna be staying long"
Somewhat fuzzy I finished my drink
No; I'll be move'n on
As I bid him farewell he gave a quivering wink
Unknown why I got a cold chill
Few people outside were silently milling
It seemed so quiet and errie still
The sun seting night clouds rising
I a bit unsteady
Bumping my knee getting on my bike
I started my deep black Harley
Turning onto the road feeling it was going to be a chilly night
The sun seemed to just drop
At the end of town I noticed a quaint little park
Pulling over I stopped
Black roses vined with neddle sharp thorns reaching out a finger I got a prick
Yeow ! it stung
My blood freely flowed to the ground
These wild black roses how they hung
It was so errie around this town
Not a sound
Not quite six and it was already
a darken night
Couriousity drew me into the parks trail
There was no moon no starlite
The coolness of the air gave me a tinge of fright
Imagining things I thougt I heard a curdling whail
No ! I'm just spooking myself
A little further in I saw these little close to the ground shanties
To inspect closer I steped off the trail
In front of each sat small bowls that were empty
I remember seeing an old indian burying ground in upper Michigan
The bowls were for feeding the spirit
I have never seen it so dark
Looking down I cringed when I thought I saw someones feet
In the now cold breeze I tried to light my lighter,but couldn't get a spark
I Got on my knees for a closer look "gulldarn" a body It's as white as a sheet
Those damn black roses bloomed along side
Unwanting to but, wanting to I touched the cold stone toes
I let out a chilling lonesome cry
The body slowly rose
I ran blindly getting tangled in winding thorney vines
The vines; They seemed to grow !
Cutting scratching bleeding traped I whined
Please, please,please
My blood gushing like pouring wine
I was crying on my knees
A slow mumbled utter said "welcome to our town"
I remembered him from the bar; it was "Frank Lynn Stine"
Please,please,please
Laying bleeding in these tangled vines
Let me leave
Your cries are to no avail
You will be one of us a "Zombie"
I'm trap in this town "This town called Hell"
My feet were cold
I could feel my heart
"It's turning to stone"
NOooooooooooooo

an impressive story this Denis. A world so weird and incomprehensible - at least for most of us I think. But places and personalities do exist that bear a resemblance to these uncanny phenomena
It is the experience that you carry away by the encounter with this. Profitable? or detrimental?
That is the question.
Thanks for sharing

Keep at it |

I thought the poem was really good and the imagery worked fantastically. Not to be a killjoy - but I thought the 'zombie' bit at the end ruined the effect of the whole thing.
But well done - I think that has the potential to be an unbelievable poem!
