Poem
This new Black Moon near Hallowe’en Marks the darkest night we have seen. A time to carve a pumpkin head To make a lantern for the dead. Bonfires lit burn bright tonight, At gravesites we'll leave candle light To honor spirits of our dead. We'll go door-to-door to be fed. Should they deign to turn us away, A scary Samhain trick we'll play. But little kids that ask for treats Will have their baggies filled with sweets. Frightful costumes will scare away The evil spirits who might prey. Witches known to tempest the sky Along with large bats flying high, Are privy to an instant spell Summoned up from the mouth of hell. Trick-or-treaters please be aware Of evil forces everywhere. If you're lost in Sleepy Hollow, Please don't expect that I will follow. I'll let my black cat out to roam, But I'll stay warm and safe at home! © Connie Marcum Wong *Black moon The term black moon refers to an additional new moon that appears in a month or in a season. It may also refer to the absence of a full moon or of a new moon in a month. One use of the term is for the occurrence of a second new moon in a calendar month. This is analogous to the by-month definition of a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. February is too short for a second new moon to occur. This event occurs about every 29 months. Last Black Moon until 2019 to rise over Eastern Hemisphere on Halloween weekend
