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

Karla Deal Date: 8/28/2013 10:04:00 AM 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. Login to Reply
