Beware Traveler Upon This Night

Looming shadows ‘neath sapphire skies; “whooo whooo” the hooty owl cries. Jack-o-lanterns scowl beneath the trees as we shiver in the chilling breeze. Where tombstones tower above the lands and a blue corn moon glaringly expands; beware the zombies that walk the night and werewolves howling in the moonlight. Amorphous specters flit and float, as Charon rows past in his boat. Keep your neck wrapped up very tight, for vampires are all out tonight. All Hallows Eve’s a frightening time, for lurking monsters it’s just sublime!

Sounds like a spooky place, especially where tombstones tower above lands.. A fitting sonnet for the season and one that flows very well..
