As a blood-red sun bleeds in the sky,
white cottony clouds absorb scarlet.
And a seductive, silvery moon
bares Her skimpy slip like a harlot.
Jack-o'-lanterns stand guard on porches,
grim gargoyles carved on All Hallows' Eve.
And costumed children go door to door
begging for treats, dressed in make-believe.
Sinister shadows seamlessly merge
just outside your peripheral sight.
And goblins gather in the darkness,
watching vampires and witches take flight.
Hell’s gate closes as the clock strikes twelve,
each moment adding to the tension.
For before then, ungodly things roam,
committing sins too vile to mention.
Dawn pierces the night sky like a lance,
announcing the birth of a new day.
And the jack-o'-lanterns flicker out,
having kept hell's hooligans at bay.
