October sees the trees donned in colors The branches decked with scarlet-flickers have set the orange pumpkins of lamps alight
Boys and girls are playing reality-show of their dreams Snow White and Prince Charming are together The mischievous youngsters are justified to be "What if we for once act out the monsters? "
Costumed parents and kids are lovely pals They are in groups of threes or fives milling round after round for Trick or Treat They knock on the familiar doors with strange facades and flick on that juvenile glimmer in the seniors' eyes The candles inside the pumpkins illuminate the roads The pumpkin-boxes are brimming with sweets The wind's crooning on the bounty from behind the trees Every bit as sweet as honey as wine is mellow such is the Halloween night
It is not clear though if that girl whose parents have lost their jobs and are unable to buy her new costume her features washed by delight isstill blinking the tears that morning saw around the corners of her eyes Topic(s) of this poem: halloween
