Notes About The Poem

 

Halloween

Volcanic, rustic, crackling leaves
bright coral sunset, gifts last light
obscure darkness, daylight thieves
deep pockets prevent frostbite,
singed gooey marshmallow delights.

Ghost stories relayed by torchlight
joyful, flustered, silly faces
elated sugar rush heights,
toffee lousy for braces
competitive doorstep races.

Lantern flames, lead ghoul skeleton
into inky bleak locations,
candy bags filled with gelatin
miniature fright night, palpitations
pumpkins, handmade creations
