A death heads' rictus grin
fierce eyes in fiery glow
Autumnal winds to blow
a smould'ring breath within
ol' Jack and all his kin
'tis Halloween , you know.

Guard close your doors this night
vast minions scour the land.
The brave must make a stand
'gainst ghouls lit by porch light
who've come as is their right
to pillage out of hand.

Prepare yourself, my sweet...
they've come for Trick or Treat!

Brneyedgrly,
Thanks. I usually try to write one Halloween
themed poem a year. This format seemed to lend itself well. See ya back in class.

Balladeer,
Thank you kind sir. If I listen close I can almost hear Vincent Price reading this one, lol.

ARH & Bill Charles
Thank you, the kinetics of this site are such that we often inspire each other, just one of the things that makes Rons' place a little different.
Doc

Elizabeth,
Thank you. You know I've always admired your writing ability, and I must confess, while I'm skulking around here behind the scenes I still drop in on certain poets to
see some of their latest. You never dissapoint.
