An Innocent Childhood Memory

Children enchant the beat
after knocking on doors, looking for handouts, score
       trick or treat.

                             October chill.
Warm village firehouse parade pours
         out thrills —

                                   a fright
       of ghosts; abhors
light.

                   Children enchant the beat.
Warm village firehouse parade pours
       light.

Sigrid Ermine Date: 8/27/2020 5:19:00 AM 'Children enchant the beat' - has a pulse in it.! I can see the sheet strewn, paint faced hopefuls and feel the vibe of cooling evenings. A hard form to depict a scene in. I applaud you for it. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 8/27/2020 6:01:00 AM Thank you, Sigrid!
