Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Halloween Moon

Beauty held in autumn's skies
All celestial bodies seem 
to shine brighter 
Nothing compares to the moon
Like a gigantic orange disc 
blending in with twinkling stars
When all is quiet in the 
dark of the night
One can hear the winds howling 
through the naked trees
And at the stroke of midnight 
on this October night
when you gaze to the heavens
you may glimps the 
silhouette of a dark witch 
casting her shadow across 
the face of the Halloween moon
