Front Porch On Halloween

Pumpkins line up my porch with their glory Orange and purple give about great fury Halloween features are present throughout Skeletons sit on the steps where they shout Bright jack-o-lanterns are lit all around Live bats rest on the roof, soar all at night The path leading up to the house is found Dormant tree, creepy looking, is a sight Spiders are known to be somewhere close by Their webs are seen in every corner, sly The Halloween torches burn here tonight Eerie glow that portrays fear of their might All Hallows Eve does bring joy to my heart As the bright moonlight covers every part Russell Sivey

Hi Russell, Wow!!1 This poem is amazing!!! I love the flow of it and how you fit the words perfectly with such rhyme. I love Autumn...and what it offers. This poem of yours kind of gave me goose bumps...especially the stanza:" Spiders are known to be somewhere close by". Nicely done.

And the decorating begins..I like the Fall theme but don't decorate just lazy I guess..Thanks for the visit to my work..I also like the cooler days of autumn or fall..Especially when it reaches the point of being really cool in the mornings but just right to work outside in the afternoon..I hope that we have a really nice fall with those cool nights and warm afternoons with some rain so that the leaves will be their best..Sara
