Gems glitter on grass,
royal-blue ribbons herald fall,
sunflowers drinking light.
A wedge of geese honks,
cornstalks rattle their fingers,
Joe-pye weeds dancing.
Pumpkins dot the patch,
the old wagon is loaded.
Mama's pie baking.
Ghosts fly through the skies,
stars sparkle on black velvet,
a barn owl resounds.

Wishing all my blogger friends Happy Halloween!
