October

The daylight seems to run away
and darkness catches you off-guard,
cold winds whisper through the trees
as fallen leaves scuttle across the yard.

Evening shadows take sinister form
in the dim Autumn gloaming,
as the undead rise from their graves
to begin their nightly roaming.

There's a Raven tapping at your window,
the Headless Horseman is at your door.
Cthulhu is hiding under your bed,
his tentacles stretched out across the floor.


Werewolves howl, mummies shuffle about,
ghosts moan and rattle their chains.
Vampires fly around biting necks,
and the zombies are searching for brains.

Unearthly creatures great and small
gather beneath a pumpkin moon,
listen closely, you'll hear them call
"Halloween is coming soon."
