From Out of the Mist
A witch flits and twists through the indigo mist.
A bright orange bracelet illumines her wrist.
I see through the gloom she’s not riding a broom.
Her oversized black pointy hat sports a plume.
The shadows reveal other ghoulies. All squeal
in unison “TRICK OR TREAT!” I seal the deal
by giving them goodies with great kid-appeal.
Note for Tania's Contest:
The first line was chosen from a list for the previous contest. Maintaining the meter--one iambic foot and three anapestic feet per line--was a challenge, but I didn't allow it to prevent me from conveying my intended theme.
