Jacket Weather (a Halloween poem)
The leaves are starting to fall.
Jacket weather is finally here.
A smile appears on every kid and even adult who refuses
to grow up as Halloween costumes and decorations fill up
the store aisles and neighborhood shops.
Classic horror movies splash on the TV screen at mid-night.
Ghosts, Goblins, Devils, and Witches.
Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, and other
haunting things that give us fright.
Entertain our fear of the unknown as
we scream in delight.
