Russell Sivey Poet Rondeau

Full Moon Rises

Full moon rises over haunted house
Things move there quiet as a mouse
At the front porch are some pumpkins
Lit as though there’s a soul within
Nothing will come and surely douse

Outside sits a large scarecrow louse
Beaming eyes like a great lighthouse
Bats fly inhaling all the sins
Full moon rises

A graveyard sits near the nuthouse
No skeleton bears shirt like blouse
Cat will scare you out of your skin
Beneath the ancient tree like limbs
Field they came from is a madhouse
Full moon rises

Russell Sivey
