On Halloween Night

Beyond the meadow pumpkins lay
Amidst the birch and bales of hay
Basking in the moonlit glow
Crows perch high on scarecrow

Leaves pirouette in the dark
Bats fly low then embark
Thistle swagger in the breeze
Just below the apple trees

Rabbits flitter 'cross the field 
Stalks of corn embrace their yield
Looming shadows high they tower
Ever near the witchin' hour

House to house off they go
Candy baskets overflow
Costumed tots laugh with delight
On this hallow's eve night

As for now, I will greet you with the same smile, others passed, when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your compositions. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT
