HALLOWEEN
Blowing leaves, cornstalks, apples and nuts
Are reminders of autumn's Halloween.
Dressing up in costumes and wearing masks
To trick or treat at night, as goblins scream.
High-hat witches with pots of candy
From the ground up are three to four feet tall.
Costume parties where grownups are children
As cut pumpkins flicker after night's fall.
Skeletons hanging from doorways and trees
With black paper cats arching in windows.
Black jellybeans and chicken-corn candy
And the whistle of the wind as it blows.
Every Halloween means summer has gone
And the time for cultivation has past.
Though winter may seem cold, harsh, and cruel
Once it's over, it's springtime at last.
