Notes About The Poem

Autumn Joy and Nostalgia

Orange blooms at dusk
goblins in the pumpkin patch
rich fall's come again

ghosts haunt dark cool nights
scarecrows wave in harvest fields
sad trees weep colors

devils on doorsteps
trick or treat candy cane lane
warm fireside cider

gaudy, red nosed clown
creeping like sun going down
when wind is howling

Ooooooo-eek! Judy, this is quite the autumnal/Halloween piece. The clown settles in the scary in this! Think i’ll stay by the fireside, close the curtains & ignore the doorbell! Best wishes, sally
