Front Yard Scene
In my front yard there is a very old tree
Filled with Halloween tricks for this heinous night
Light of a full moon would eventually
Set up the scene of some skeletons tonight
They play with the black cats that sure walk around
What horrors that this night creates does astound
There are witch’s brooms and their assorted spell books
That sit on top of gravestones giving wry looks
There are fearsome scarecrows with their outstretched arms
And ravens that fly around and fly so free
They show the evil of the yard and its harms
All fictitious true, but still a sight to see
Halloween brings out intense feelings within
Shows us just how bad it surely could have been
But the fun leaves its mark, as this dark sight does
Over the top scene I have for front yard shows
