In the shifting air
the sweet scent of candy corn
candle wax burning

All doors are open
an ancient mystery lives

Premium Member True love

Is it too much to ask 
for true love 
a love that reaches eternity 
then flicker like a lantern brightly in the sky 
phasing out before our eyes

A giant pumpkin 
With the fruit scooped out for pie
A Halloween treat
I make a Jack-O-Lantern
And grin at its glowing face

Remember,
keep your jack-lantern lit
‘cause on this eve should its flame quit,

I thought I could hear, that deviant sound
of eerie boots, disobedient ground
Wearing disguises
Sharing surprises
Jack-Lantern, miscreant, boys are around

frightened pale shadows
waltz nervously on the walls;
thunder storm rages inside.
flickering lantern flame
ebbs its glow, surrenders to dark.

Premium Member You Don'T Know Jack

Seeking the local coven’s cavern
a pumpkin rolled into a tavern
	he met with a wise wizard
	who slit him stem to gizzard
now he’s a gruesome jack ‘o lantern

The Jack-O-Lantern

A jack-o-lantern gazed into my eyes
Then tried to eat me as a prize
His sharp teeth then sank
Into the crack of my crank
Then he rolls out wearing a disguise
