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 9/23/2019 Contest:Halloween Moon Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke

The ending has me grinning, and cackling like one. Because I love the vision, Brenda. I clearly love the whole poem.

Love the ending, Brenda. That witch on her broom is one of my two favorite images of the Halloween moon. You have helped me smile this time. Thanks! :) gw
