Ichabod

Ichabod

 

 

Ichabod, hear my plea

Stay home this night

On All Hollows Eve

The horseman rides tonight

 

Whispers in the hollow

Night falls under the full moon

Headless horseman gallops

On this Halloween night

 

On All Hallows Eve

This dark force begins to ride

Wreaking havoc everywhere

On those who cross his path

 

Venture out tonight, if you dare

Your head will become his prize

To be tucked under his arm

On the next All Hallows Eve

 

Ichabod, did you not hear

Now your head has been stolen

And your body lies motionless

Horseman’s screeches echo this night

The last stanza is awesome, though the entire piece is great. Ichabod Crane -- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow... one of my favs. Nicely done Nancy!!

Beautiful poem.

Ichabod, did you not hear
Now your head has been stolen
And your body lies motionless
Horseman's screeches echo this night

the Ichabod, did you not hear" line is very powerful, it's like suddenly I am Ichabod, like you're actually teaching me.

Great job

I read before about Ichabod and I sympathized with him. Now in your piece, I felt it again for him. Poor man. :)

I enjoyed reading it. :D
