Best Holidayautumn Poems
The devil trembles
Feeling the autumn wind's rage
Children eat candy
Red mask covers eyes
Blind to first fall carnival
Her pockets picked clean
Nevermore lovers
Halloween murders-blood found
Quote the black raven
We celebrate this Autumn feast
and do you remember when
the turkey was the main event
of a holiday come again ?
Family came from near and far,
I remember that this was so.
Talk of what this holiday meant,
yet the turkey still stole the show.
Times remembered through a child’s eyes
yet I think it must be the same
where throughout all Thanksgiving days
nothing rivals the turkey’s fame.
I would like to think that you agree
but I cannot speak for you.
Does the turkey hold the honored place,
will your heart to it stay true ?
