Halloween Stroll

Halloween Stroll

Crackle, crackle

Dusty shadows

Crunch and cackle

Follow hollow

Pounding footsteps

Cracks of thunder

Broken branches

Over, under

Snap and scream

Spooky Doppler

The Big Bopper

Sings Chantilly lace

And a pretty face

But I digress

As trees undress

On this unholy

Wooded path

To who knows where

I stroll and stare

At the murky water

The misted river

Seems to swerve

Around the curve

Of my pretty neck

As I do swear

This wretched dream

Will be my last trek

Unnerved through this

Forest preserve

On Halloween

Autumn and the Moon

The wind screamed

In circles

The sky wept

Trees shed sheathes

Of leaves that

Flew and joined

The debris

Of life in

A dance of

The macabre

As the moon

Choked on the

Dust and died

Podzim a měsíc

Vítr kvílí

v čarovném kruhu

Nebesa pláčou

Stromy se svlékají

do naha

Aby srostly

s troskami života

V tanci smrti

A měsíc

v tom prachu

Umírá
