When the moon glows full and the brisk wind howls strong,
The night for all spirits, faeries and fiends comes alive.
The party is set, the festivities draw near.
Witches, pirates, werewolves and beasts prepare themselves fierce,
For an o’ernight feast and fete, they’ve been awaiting all the year.
Spiced pumpkin lattes, caramel apples, black witchy shoes and stripey socks appear.
Cinnamon, nutmeg and spiders fill the creaks and corners
Of haunted houses and mansions, from Old Salem to the California shores.
Samhain, Hallowe’en, All Hallows’ Eve, Harvest Moon or Mischief Night.
Whatever you may call it, set your senses high.
For amidst the purple, the black, the red and the orange,
The goblins, ghouls, ghosties and gremlins are out and about and waiting for you!
Happy October, Everyone!
