At Halloween

At Halloween At Halloween, just a few nights ago, I saw a sinister dark and tangled wood Beside a town where two rivers flow. Entering by hidden paths not many know, There an old and crumbling castle stood At Halloween just a few nights ago. From that castle a hooting owl flew low, Leading me through that dark and tangled wood Beside a town where two rivers flow, Ancient halls lit by shaded new moon’s glow Where spectral guardians in armour stood At Halloween just a few nights ago, I was lost in that place dark spirits know, The owl perching in that haunted wood Beside a town where two rivers flow Close by that castle old where shadows grow And silent ghosts of warriors stood At Halloween just a few nights ago, Beside a town where two rivers flow. 10/31/2022 Entered into Halloween Poetry Contest By Emile Pinet
