All Hallows' Eve
All Hallows' Eve
Among the graying clouds and autumn moon,
Above treetops, shadows on the moonlit sky
On broomsticks racing by,
Black silhouettes of cackling witches sit.
Lights out and heartbeats drop.
Garlic hangs high over windowpanes.
Outside, wind growls, magic and the supernatural thrives.
Monster spiders trailing strands of silk.
Black birds caw-caw, out stretching claws.
Toad loads muddy pond a dragonfly it croaks for.
Cat prowling hunt on wicked vampire bat.
Werewolf howl resonates the night.
Screeching owl watchful eye.
Sound of mournful music all night in the forest.
Pumpkins in candlelight,
Crows peck away the scarecrow's hay,
Ghost lickety-split, screaming fear.
There is no escaping from the night.
