Maggot ridden corpses lie screaming underground,
Tearing at black coffin lids in which their souls have drowned.
Bloody biting images drip across each face,
Fresh living flesh they crave for to touch with foul embrace
Cockroach bitten fingernails feel the midnight air,
The hungry dead are born again in that graveyard called despair.
Blood lust drives and tortures their ever gnawing need,
On living, breathing innocents their rotting teeth must feed.
Victims scream in agony as they stumble to their death,
Their minds die filled with memories of rank and fetid breath.
Replete with flesh and splintered bone the living dead return,
To sleep until tomorrow with eyes that ever burn.

This is a grasping take on whichever prompt you chose. Perhaps if you wrote down the option I would completely understand the why you wrote this poem.
The write has an excellent verbiage that goes on elocuently and fluently with a dramtic pulse you can almost taste and see.
There is no wonder you won gold,even though for me is a short write, you managed to make in protrude out with much effciency.
But please follow the rules!

Haven't even read the piece yet, please place exactly which option you chose, even if it was more than one. I understand the concept is 'disturbed,' but it'd be much easier for us to judge with better specifications. Thank you.

That was really good! A great poem to read around a campfire or to hear on Halloween. The rhymes ran smooth and unforced. I haven't read a dark poem this good in a long time.
Good luck in the contest and thanks for the fine read.
