Russell Sivey Poet Tanka

Anticipation of Halloween

Anticipation
Of Halloween’s greatest fun
Kids look forward to
All the lit pumpkins and bats
Spiders and mummies delight

Skeletons galore
Werewolves, owls, haunted houses
Graveyards and full moons
The smells and sounds of this time
Is so vast and filled with fear

Perfect collection
A lovely grouping of things
That Halloween brings
Feelings even ghosts will share
On this holiday we care

Russell Sivey
