October

 

Picturesque-perfect peaceful placid Fox Lake

Autumn brushed color for beauty’s gold sake

 

Chilly nights softened in daytime’s warm coming

A harbinger warning of winter-frozen numbing

 

Spirit-warmed bonfire smell marshmallows toasting

Bright faces gathered for fun time hot-dog roasting

 

Wild wind worries oak leaves in bright full moon

Complain, rattle-prattle, they will all be gone soon

 

Slip clandestine through graveyard on Halloween eve

So scary in pale light even the wraiths, they do grieve

 

Goblins and monsters in the streets running wild

Fear not, good people, only masquerade of a child

 

Most horrible evil just our minds can pretend

Against what never happens often we defend

 

Faith tried and tested is the best medicine for sure

To overcome evil, God’s love is the one sure-cure

 

These hallowed eve ghosts fly on the All Soul’s Day

Tomorrow in sunshine celebrate the All Saint’s Day

 

Amen!
