Poem by aaronbloodgood

***

Orange paints the town on nature's hollow breath,

Bathing precious imps in the Devil's spice.

Once again, tis the season of death;

The final respite before the coming of ice.


Disguise yourself in the flesh of others,

Lest the shadows take you beyond the veil.

Candy hauls unite and divide blood brothers,

Though excess may leave them cold as a coffin nail.


Let the moon be thy guide on a night fit to bask,

Seduce and enchant with the wonders of October dread.

But whatever you do, don't remove your mask.

Because it's all fun and games, until someone ends up dead.
