Moon Shines Brilliantly
The wrought iron fence with metal pickets
Separates the real world from this horror
The moon shines brilliantly down onto you
Catches the graveyard tombstones of splendor
The mighty tree in the yard looks horrid
With shadows that are long and frightening
At base of the tree lies a lit pumpkin
There to scare all those who’s enlightening
There is a gate with skulls set on the fence
You enter at your own risk, ghosts live here
They’re in the haunted house in the graveyard
The ones that will freeze you when they appear
Stars shine very brightly on Halloween
Shooting stars as to give a great warning
That this night’s purely evil in all ways
Nothing here tonight is truly charming
You can hear the voices calling your name
Holding a real attraction to your ears
The silver moon shines even brighter now
Taking away inhibitions and fears
Russell Sivey
