Spellbound

Dark orange skies
Fading into black night,
A crescent moon rise
Glowing ghostly white 

Skimming overhead 
With trick or treaters below,
I watch them tread
Before up I go ...

Flying over corn crops
Reaching out to touch the stars,
Dodging rooftops ...
And parked cars

Above the tree limbs
Sweeping the last leaves, 
As I swoop by, skims
The houses' eaves

Over the picket fences
And wrought iron gates,
The night commences
Where the cemetery waits

It is Halloween ...
In all it's sight and sound,
Beautiful to be seen
And I am spellbound!

You captured the essence of All Hallows Eve quite well, nicely packaged into short rhymes. I enjoyed this one very much!
