Souls Unlatched

There are many lit pumpkins in the field Covering from fence to fence, quite a yield They create an ambiance with their glow The greatest sight I will see, this I know Black cats prowl this night, during a full moon There are many of them to make you swoon Superstition precedes this evil night Costing nine lives just by their horrid fright Up in the air are bats and the ravens They are scary outside the night havens The bat takes one look at the great pumpkins And flies with the raven black from within Ghosts float over the glowing pumpkin patch Waiting to catch our souls that’s been unlatched Russell Sivey

I want to see this awesome pumpkin field! Russell, you should have seen the spooky Nightmare express we rode on last night. It's a free ride put on by a whole neighborhood at one man's huge yard. It has grown from 300 guests six years ago to 10,00 in this month of October of 2013.
