A Knock Knock Knocking on the Door
the night is deeply dark
and slightly chill
the winds do growl
and howl
and blow
a transient feel
thick in the air
children of the night
wander everywhere
clouds drift past a naked full moon
clever ghouls
and goblins green
flowing white ghosts
and black witches brew
broomsticks and black cats
vampires linger
and turn into bats
werewolves a clawing
ugly beasts mauling
they all come a calling
candled pumpkins become jack-o-lanterns aglow
séances and tarot cards
a spooky gathering
afoot the hill
that leads to the path
to the house
in the wood
a knock knock knocking on the door
the sound within a raspy score
a wicked witch laughs
and cackles with glee
wishing you
a spook or two
the October time of all hallow's eve
Samhain
Beltain's dark twin
to the celtic
a most magical night
of out with the old
and in with the new
BOO!
