Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
An ode to my favorite holiday

Halloween

by jstcroix

Beyond the meadow pumpkins lay
Amidst the birch and bales of hay
Basking in the moonlit glow
Crows perch high on scarecrow

Leaves pirouette in the dark
Bats fly low then embark
Thistle swagger in the breeze
Just below the apple trees

Rabbits flitter 'cross the field
Stalks of corn embrace their yield
Looming shadows high they tower
Ever near the witchin' hour

House to house off they go
Candy baskets overflow
Costumed tots laugh with delight
On this hallow's eve night
