Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky,
When elf and sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen.
Tonight is the night
When leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground,
When spooks and trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy and green.
Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghoul and ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their queen.
It's Halloween.

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!! I couldn't get the SW airline pumpkin to upload, but next year I'll have to carve my own…!
ReplyDeleteNo worries! I found it too. Next year I will do my own too. Maybe we should have a pumpkin carving contest at my house. :)
DeleteI love that poem, and those pictures!! OMG, how precious. Love them! Happy Halloween, stay safe, have fun, and keep those pictures coming!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Heather. I hope you are having a Happy Halloween. And this year you'll have trick or treaters too. Dick and I are in Las Vegas, and hopefully more treats than tricks.
