Powers of the Moon
The moon engulfs the house in a distance
The deep pale yellow glow that it carries
Is often covered by the clouds that flow
Bringing fright to all people that tarries
Jack-O-Lanterns sit on the cold front porch
Frigid due to the ghosts that reside there
Loving to scare those that come and stop by
There’s a nip and fearfulness in the air
The graveyard sits outside this creepy house
With gravestones showing dates of long ago
Skeletons come to life wanting your skin
Your soul is a treat, sure that’s all they know
Rumors are that witches live in the house
Loving to cast spells on Halloween night
Turning unsuspecting guests into toads
Leaving legends of great fear at their sight
The moon really brings these things to light
With its deep amber glow it does possess
The whole scene is lighted on down below
The powers of the moon, full of distress
