The sky is blood red
The common bird is the crow
Human flesh is lunch
haunted forest
a ghoulish headless horseman
underwater lair
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
chocolate wrappers twist
midnight teeth sink through bat-wing foil~
orange moon watches cold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
legs tap-tap-tap wood~
old wizened spinner whispers:
Sweet child, step closer…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
vines twist 'round boot soles—
"Sir, your cravate!" gasps the scarecrow.
orange truce blooms at dusk
beneath black boughs
leaves dyed tan and orange
stir a little fear
carved jack-o-lanterns
a sentinel of pumpkins
vegetable gargoyles
an ebony cat
a marble gravestone scratchpad
feline familiar
wolves howl at the moon
bat wings whisper in the dark
creatures of the night
monsters in costume
banging on neighborhood doors
shouts of trick-or-treat
Halloween conjures the dead,
fueling feelings of dread.
what a ghoulish scene
ghostly figures rising
from the ground
leaves tumbling from trees
wild geese honking overhead~
bright orange pumpkins
frost-etched window panes
crimson canopies aflame~
scarecrows atrophied
carved jack-o-lanterns
bare naked trees stripped of leaves~
the songbirds are mute
painted pumpkins glow
illuminating shadows
children shriek loudly
leaves fall and settle
a grim naked tree remains
a sad skeleton
the sun drops early
surrenders to a full moon
a dread foreboding
a wee shy princess
she, speechless, with arms outstretched
lifts a candy bag
wolves howl at the moon
while witches fly high through
night candy I collect
halloween has passed
deserted pumpkins on porch
Sit idle for months
creative art piece
carved into many faces
enjoyed by many
children in costumes
excitement in the cold air
trick or treat night smiles
laughter heard on the street
children hurry door to door
footsteps in fresh snow
