Russell Sivey Poet Sonnet

Halloween Night Spectacular

She sits on a broomstick, one that’s floating
Looking at the full moon, she is gloating
She holds the fiercest lit pumpkin ever
Glowing with a demented face clever

Below is a witch near a huge cauldron
She’s stirring greatly for a large potion
Both of them cackling evilly with glee
While pumpkins shutter on ground fearfully

An owl calls his song along the long night
And the bats carry their own sounds with might
There are red blinking eyes within the tree
The witches both desire to be quite free

Free of the restrictions of Halloween
They want to go out any night between

Russell Sivey
