Jack O' Lantern's Hallowed Eve

Jack O' Lantern jeers through molten screen With fiery eyes and a fifth sense so keen Masked goblins saunter in shadows unseen Wily Jack swills jade folds with florescent stream Billowing ghosts in phosphorescent, satin mantles teem Stolid Jack bathes in Hoary Frost's velvety Vanilla Bean Gaunt Scarecrow from barren field garnishes Per Diem While gilded Jack siphons his rich, mellow meringue Black-caped witch casts spells hinterland residual to glean Domesticated Jack scans hearth skimming every melancholy dream Rabid bats swarm o'er stinging insects with stealthy sheen Endearing Jack charms fluttering moths with radiant gleam Bleary-eyed werewolves' curdling howls seep through each woody seam Spry Jack o'er quilted courtyard flutters his palling requiem Creeping ghouls seek spilt warmth to redeem Jilting Jack singes their hems with a boiling steam
