Mild Fright

Skull and crossbones bag Filled with delicious candy Sitting on the porch Where orange wreath lies on door Looks inviting to the young Decorations sit Abounding the well-lit porch Carved smiling pumpkins And spider webbing around And small orange lights on fence Not very scary As young children run about Simply beautiful This concoction of delight Bringing around a mild fright

Very descriptive this is. It could have also worked in Gail's contest very nicely.

You certainly are in the mood for Halloween two months early! This is another good tanka for the season.
