Another.

It's that time of year again
Halloween - and trick-or-treating.
There's a crispness in the air -
and a mood for carving pumpkins.
The children dress up in their costumes
anticipating, the night,
with butterflies in their stomachs
and happiness in their eyes.

The moon is out of hiding
big, and full, and bright
like a knight in shining armour
casting off, a soft light.
While the tree's stand by in nakedness
their leaves covering the ground,
a blanket of many colors -
making possible every sound...
to the ears of those who cause it
the many, tiny feet
running back and forth - from door to door
hollering - it's Halloween!
Trick-or-Treat!
