A Late October Rain
A late October rain with the wind rowdy
grey skies overcast and storm clouds full
Dampness to the bone feels muggy
the earth becomes soggy as the rain flows
Raining slow and steady, pitter-patter
raindrops splatter hinting of winter's breathe
The coolness will remain...
Halloween beckons the evenings darken quickly now
weary of slight shadows in a eye's glimpse
Weather for witches with black cats purring
jack o lanterns crooked smiles
Goblins and ghost and everything spooky
makes the holiday candy the sweetest treats
all hitching within a late October rain.
