October creeps amid the shadows

October creeps amid the shadows Lengthening The shortness of the day Dancing amid the pumpkins Chortling in its chill Adding boney fingers to the trees Reaching into our fears Tickling with terror The mystery of a gleeful night As demons dance with ballerinas Midget masterminds plot Against larger super heroes Trembling As the door opens A hand reaches out A shriek, a panic of footsteps A hollow laughter trailing October She scares ‘em every year But gives really great treats

Hi John, I enjoyed reading this and the Halloween related imagery within it. It reminds me it is bearing again.
