Haunted Whiteness

The sky was infused with an abnormal moon It was so large showing off a great white light The whiteness carries on causing one to swoon Casting dark shadows off the trees in the night There is a white candle in an upstairs room That illuminates the bristles of a broom Somewhere the occupant loves to fly on by Leaves a blazing white trail within the night sky
