Three dapper skeleton men are our main attraction
I think when you arrive, they will provide satisfaction.
I was not sure what she meant, never seeing a monster ball.
But there was a lot of excitement about it this fall!
Frankenstein will put in an appearance the jack-0-lantern said.
Pretend when you see Dracula that he is right in the head.
There will be dancing and jiggering heard all the way to the moon.
We would love to have you! Said the Halloween baboon.
I was excited there would be a hoe down in this field of dreams.
Dancing our guts out would be fun, on this, of all Halloweens.
I was thrilled to find out about the activities from the baboon.
Who assured me we could take photos with the harvest moon.

Mottled wings spear the air,
a grey flash and splintering.
Stream lined heads sharply applied
as if the wind itself tore through
openings in the sky.
The birds circle and swoop,
dive and free-fall, tumble & soar,
spiral high, riding a rollercoaster
of avian ecstasy.
We, the heavy-footed,
chase with our lenses,
aiming to catch these flickering arrows -
most capture only a blurring blear.
Whoever reacts ahead of a second-thought
may snatch an image,
as their swift jiggering flights
leave us standing
momentarily turned to stone.
