Halloween
.
Witches cackle as they fly
Saddled on broomsticks
They ride across the sky
Jack-o-lanterns carved from pumpkins,
Set out on fenceposts and porches
Seem to bring ill omens.
Ghosts in cemeteries rise up and fly about
Wisps of light in the darkness
Glide inward, upward and out.
Black cats arch their backs at the moon
Hissing, spitting; growling
The witching hour is coming soon
Bats flit and flutter above ominously, menacingly;
Striking no mortal heart with love.
Beware the night,
Grown-ups tell their children
Evil lurks tonight just our of sight
Children run from door to door
Dressed as goblins, monsters, and witches
Yelling trick or treat for more and more
Halloween.........All Hallow's Eve!
When ghosts reach out from the world beyond
To touch the world of the living
But only to those who choose to believe!

oooooooooooooooo

you had fun with this one, eh?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
