Notes About The Poem

Carnival Autumn's Ghostly Hubble

It is Carnival Autumn's Ghostly Hubble
Halloween Night, as emotions bubble;
kids full of mischief getting into trouble.

The whole carnival is decked out with Halloween décor!
Lit jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, skulls covered in gore,
spiders on webs, whole new world waiting to explore.

How many would think this would be fine,
but what happens next will soon change their mind.

The clown's face painted and cracked in white paint,
a scar over it's brow, fiery orange hair, thin mouth a garish red taint.
It snarls a show of thorn bloody teeth;
each evil glaring eye lined a black cross and beneath 
a red ball for a nose. It wears a ruffled collar satin clown suit,
half red the other half white and big black combat boots.

It sneaks in the shadows following kids scent in the air
to descend and snare to bring too it's lair.

Kids candy full bellies sweetens the flavor,
it cannot wait to sink its teeth to savor
the sweetness; it will not be wavered.

Oh, boy, you have certainly brought us to the fear level in the clown department. My children at school have been warned about killer clowns, and none want to go to the circus. I know this nicely rhymed poem will have them running in the opposite direction now, Eve.
