HALLOWE’EN ENCHANTMENT

© Wendy Amdahl 2009

The Witch began to cackle

casting off upon her broom.

And the Owl, began to bellow

at the big ole’ amber moon.

The Winds they were a whipping

and a zipping through the trees.

And the Leaves did blow, all to and fro,

swept by the chilly breeze.

The Jack O’ Lantern grimaced

with a grin that lit the night.

And the Moon she cast Moonshadows,

giving off an eerie light.

The Old Graves lay so dank and still

within the hollowed ground.

While the Specters they did shriek and moan

with such a ghastly sound.

The Haunted House stood silent watch

from high upon the hill.

And the Black Cat, stood as sentry,

perched up in the window sill.

The Witching Hour drew nigh

and there was Magic close at hand.

As Hallowe’en and Samhain

finally swept across the land.

Go forth and turn the Wheel of Time,

as time does not stand still.

Trick or Treat out in the street,

until you get your fill.

Old customs we do celebrate

And Harvest time is here.

Tis’ also time that we embrace

the dark half of the year.

So revel in Enchantments,

dance beneath the Magic Moon.

Conjure up some midnight fun

for day will be here soon.

Remember All Souls laid to rest;

place flowers upon their bed.

For on Halloween we celebrate

the living and the dead.
