If you are looking for the definitive book on Halloween poetry
while at the same time looking for examples of the various rhyming
forms that exist in any time period, then this is the book for you.
It has many of the characters of horror, many of the rhyming forms,
and all made fun by the author's expertise on the subject of
poetry, and his knowledge of the two makes for a wonderful read.
Once you start reading Count Edweird Lefang's Rhymin' Halloween you
will not be able to put it down, and once you finish reading it you
will want to read it over and over again. It is a rousing lyrical
combination of Halloween and poetry, both in form and subject.
Sonnet, villanelle, rhyming sestina, rondeau redouble, limerick,
roundel, rhyming haiku, Pantoum, Terza Rima, and ballad, among
others, are fair game, and they get coupled with the characters of
horror films. And the poems' titles are just as much fun as the
verses themselves, such as, "A Triolet to a Vampire's Immortality,"
"A Douzet from the Werewolf," and "Ode to My Ghoulfriend." Some
poems are funny, some are creepy, and some are sad, but all of them
share an intensity and earnestness that demonstrate the author's
respect for the poem as a form of art used to convey story,
emotion, and ideas. It is also a viable teaching tool as well,
which allows the student of poetry to learn about the different
rhyming forms in a manner more conducive to experimentation of the
forms. Inside, the poems are printed in a Gothic font, which may
inspire the reader to recite the poems aloud, as poems are meant to
be read, and either shout them in mournful tones, if a ghost or
Frankenstein's monster happens to be the narrator.
