Luminous [A poetry collection] ~ Canvas of Words

When the clocks strike midnight,
the spirits rise.
When the clocks strike one,
the pumpkins laugh.
When the clocks strike two,
the witches sing.
When the clocks strike three,
the demons awake.

When the clocks strike four,
the wolves, they howl.
When the clocks strike five,
the zombies growl.
When the clocks strike six,
the curtains sway.
When the clocks strike seven,
the skeletons dance.

And when, oh when
the clocks strike eight,

you will see
who fled
a little too late.

I wish everyone a very happy Halloween!
Put on your costume and eat as many sweets as you can!
And for those who don't celebrate - you too, of course, have a wonderful day!
