Russell Sivey Poet Pantoum

The Mantle At Halloween

The mantle is the place for Halloween
It holds the black and orange candles
Plus a mirror to reflect everything seen
There is really enough for you to handle

It holds the black and orange candles
Bats come out and dangle by a string
There is really enough for you to handle
It’s just the right amount of everything

Bats come out and dangle by a string
Two pumpkins are lit from the inside
It’s just the right amount of everything
They all combine for fear of the outside

Two pumpkins are lit from the inside
Plus a mirror to reflect everything seen
They all combine for fear of the outside
The mantle is the place for Halloween
