Ogres and ghosts fly across the night
Cats dressed in black, spring into sight
Toothless witches waltz across the moon.
Owls atop fence posts hoot WHO? WHO?
Beasts and beauties beat upon doors
Echoes of “Trick or Treat” soar to a roar
Rest in peace! Halloween’s over!
(and consequently so is October!)
Ogres and
ghosts fly
across the night
Cats
dressed in black,
spring into sight
Toothless witches
waltz
across the moon
Owls atop
fence posts
hoot, WHO? WHO?
Beasts and
beauties beat
upon doors
Echoes
of “Trick or Treat”
soar to a roar
Rest
in peace! Halloween’s over!
(And consequently so is October!)
