Russell Sivey Poet Sapphic stanza

Welcome To Darkness

Front door opened, allowing light to pour out
Nighttime sure has escaped the branding fingers
Pumpkins lit beneath me signify the end
Welcome to darkness

Little witches, ghosts, lost vampires, and werewolves
Guard the door, watch’s any offers of terror
The first sign of weary passerby they pounce
Bringing fear inside
