Dorian Petersen Potter Poet Pantoum

Once Upon a Halloween Day

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
I came to the conclusion that something tonight wasn’t quite right,
I peered into the dark and everything just turned more creepy and scary,
And outside appeared a huge full moon~ I stood frozen terrified in this night.

And I came to the conclusion that something tonight wasn’t quite right,
My heart was just pounding and thumping upon my rickety rib cage,
And right straight among a circle of trees there was a fierce sparkle of light
Vampires and monsters, and witches flying in brooms sped fast and past the gate.

My heart was just pounding and thumping upon my rickety rib cage,
I peered into the dark and everything just turned more creepy and scary,
Vampires and monsters, and witches flying in brooms sped fast and past the gate,
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary.
