Dusk Till dawn As tawny Night and moon wanes Darkest dark; bats fly Ghosts, ugly witches bliss. Daunted and stark under lit Streetlamps large black feline tail rise On bittersweet brisk nocturnal stroll. Prowling it yearns on spooky Halloween.

Hello Eve. What a haunting but cute poem. It made me think of all those children stepping on the crunchy leaves as they walk by decorated houses on Halloween. I used to be so frightened of the witch on The Wizard of Oz. Do you remember her? EEK! This poem was fun to read Eve.

What a fitting picture for this etheree! I am feeling the halloween vibes that emanate from your word weaving so strongly! Hyping me up to get all dressed for halloween! Its actually the only festive time i enjoy, i am not a festive person. Altho we dont celebrate it here in the maldives, i dress up with friends: i love your opening lines imagery and how this flows! Youv highlighted so many aspects of halloween in such a descriptive manner, brilliant! Congratulations on winning. Well deserved.

So sweet Eve, it speaks to the season. So, I do have a wee joke for you, why do witches never win baseball games? Cause their bats always fly away!!!!! Hugs!!!
