^ 'Tis ^ Halloween ^

The Pathya Vat Form

 

A perfect scene
             Jack O' Laterns
                     In window burns
'                                 Tis Halloween
 
Spooky,Scary
             Grinning face~ mean
                    Painted eyes~ green
                                  Do Not Tarry!
 
Ring the doorbell
             But be wary
                   Afraid? VERY,
                         of tricks so slight
 
And things that go
           bump in the night
                  that cause you fright
                                   'Tis Halloween
