Halloween Ready

The harbingers of spring are long forgotten
 now rise the specters of summer's end
and the fodder of the misbegotten
 call forth spirits of the psyche to ascend.
Come skeletal images and visionary scarecrows 
 creep along the evening shadows
hiding in the pale moonlight glow
 bringing the macabre wherever it goes.
The crimson orange, the blood red rose,
 the blackened corpse, screeching tones
rattle on with each step taken and posed
 bring on the costume halloweenie crossbones.
