Spooky

There’s a spooky in the air 
Like cinnamon apple cider 
Pumpkin spice and falling leaves 
Spine tingling like a spider 
Dancing while she weaves 

The air is chilling 
The spooky settles in 
Sweeps the empty streets 
Brings the evening dim 
With lanterns lit
And promised sweets 

A whoosh
And a whim 
Brings the evening dim 
And now the spooky settles in 
Hear its whisper on the wind 

The wind 
Swift and slim 
Brings with it the evening dim 
At last the spooky settles in.
