Everything Dark Poem

Everything Dark

      by

Pamela K. Kinney



Night wind

Blowing,

Mist

ghosting the land.

Trees cloth in

gypsy colors,

At dark,

shift to shadows.



October witchery

Haunting,

Other-worldly.

The dead walk,

Undead rise,

Specter nightmares.



Monsters costume

as us;

We,

costume as fiends.

Trick,

Or treat?

Who cares?

October dressed

In autumn finery,

With magic,

Switches to

cemetery shroud.



The 31st is now

A knock at

the door.

Don’t answer!

Past candy time,
Everything dark

Now; it’s scary time!
