Hallows Eve

Hallows Eve

 

Crimson colors, deadfall mind

Scarecrow chilling, eery time.

Bats fly, shrill in thought

Death brings silence, coffin bought.

Ore’ Hallows eve, carve jack-o-lantern

Lollipop, gumdrops, sugar banter.

Tis' all a trick, masquerade the eyes.

Softly choking, what lies, doeth dies.

Oooh’ Hallows Eve,

Come creep thee skies.
