Halloween Moon

Casting dubious shadows
Wistful and stirring
A full moon rising
Keeping its eye on
Giddy ghosts and goblins
And costumed little munchkins
Out loose trick or treating

Now I feel like trick-or-treating is right over the hill.

Hey, this is great, Line! Not the usual haunted, grisly 'crap-ola,' but a poetic snapshot of trick-or-treating from an unconventional angle. Hope it takes first prize. Best wishes, Gershon

Your poetry manages to catch the cute and dark feelings of this time of year at the same time. Great work, I expect to see this no lower than first place!
