The sun is setting, things start stirring free,
Beginning preparations for the dark.
These evening actions are what's meant to be,
When creatures of the nighttime make their mark.
The wind starts blowing, howling at the moon.
A vortex forms of things that want to roam,
Releasing to the heavens very soon,
The beasts of Hell that seek unwary souls,
And those that tarry long to make it home,
May very much regret their tardiness,
As misery and death creep from their holes
To reap the havoc only some may guess.
So heed the words Samaritans may stress,
To stay inside. Outside madness controls
The fate of those these creatures may possess.

Author Notes
These leaves just lend themselves to a dark poem. They reminded the author of bats swirling in a vortex as they rush out of hell. Maybe an overactive imagination.
This poem is a Carrett Sonnet.
The Carrett Sonnet was created by Stephen A Carter (Carter + Sonnet). It is a 15 line Sonnet consisting of 3 Quatrains with a closing Tercet. It has an inter-twining rhyme scheme, as follows:
abab cdce dfef fef
It requires a meter of 10 beats per line in iambic pentameter.
