As a werewolf might morph from a dog
A more traditional sight I see
Is a corpse walking out of the fog
I shiver as it grabs and pulls me

A habitual crow sitting high
Beaming down on the children below
Like a loud inspirational cry
Or as a howl that sounds deep and low

I am often the one sitting still
A ghostwriter I’m trying to be
Making words come to me at their will
Like the waves in a turbulent sea

All these thoughts in my brain slowly sear
Halloween makes me cry out in fear

The main rules are that each line of the poem should have the same number of syllables, and each stanza should be uniform when it comes to length and rhyme scheme. Beyond that, the poet has final say. a chanso could consist of 5 tercets followed by a couplet written with an abc rhyme scheme for each line; or it could be 6 12-line stanzas with an intricate rhyme scheme that is halved to a 6-line envoy.
