boo !
the smell of ice
and vampire bites
thrill is in the air
fright night –
flashing sights ,
blurred lights &
candy so bright .
the scare of a clown
when no one's around ,
terror abounds
in cul-de-sacs of sound .
run run run
the shrieking rattle of death's bony fingers –
oh my God !
never mind , just a Grim Reaper .
& at 3 a.m. , when
the cycles begin again —
you know you've found
the thrill in the sound
of
"Happy Halloween!"

the ghost
I don't know what I'm waiting for,
because I am a ghost and yet
I sit on my hands and wonder
where you've been -
I walk the forest in circles,
the methodical crunch
of leaves beneath my feet
and I remember
that you made me feel small,
and alone. here I am, facing
this brilliant hue that is me and myself
and I am the ghost but somehow
you are haunting me.

October short story
It was staring at me, from the window. Its eyes never wavering from meeting mine. Its mouth was just a wide jagged line of sharp teeth frozen into a lip-less smile. Its long claws curved and filthy with something awful. There was something staining the window, the street light outside illuminating chunks and making the dripping lines glow. The creature was unmoving from its spot.
The terrifying part is that it’s on the inside of the window.

This idea hit me a couple of hours ago, but I wanted to write this message in a way not many would understand. The message in this is quite clear if you read between the lines. But I'd be happy to hear any and all interpretations because I really want to know if anyone will be able to understand what I mean with this.

Taking the title into account as well, this made me think of the idiom 'let sleeping dogs lie', especially with the 'ribs don't break' part (due to what the idiom means). With the first two words being 'Dogs lie', I kind of wonder whether you mean 'lie' as in 'lie down' or 'lie' as in 'tell an untruth' (in which case 'dog' could mean something else...). Not that that this matters too much, as interpretation is the really interesting thing when it comes to poetry like this. 
Anyway, great work.
