SAMHAIN – All Hallow’s Eve (Anapestic tetrameter) As the evening approaches and darkness surrounds, When orb spiders are weaving to capture their prey, then, all over the country, a madness abounds, Where abnormal behavior is out on display.

Left then right into a corn maze as the Sun flickers on October; Laughter transforms to screaming as we spot a scarecrow, a pipe smoking but it’s not lit; ‘Trick me, treat me.’ he says ‘By all means creep me.

Flame throwing flower held by a scream, Maniacal laughter, dark fantasy; Blood on the face of a clown fresh smile an imprint of a frown; Nothing is at all what it seems; Trick me, treat me by all means, creep me; Blessed Be, Blessed Samhain....

Thinner the veil, Older the year. Between the worlds Shadows appear,   Straddling the times. We feel the past Stamped on our brows. Nothing will last.   Fields are now bare, Soon comes the cold.

Let’s celebrate the thinnest of the veil! Reunite with long lost family and friends and take one last chance to make our amends, on the night the worlds’ barrier is frail. But when is this magic night to occur? Some say it’s during Scorpio’s Full Moon or the sun’s post allows us to commune. Others claim Halloween causes the blur. If we...
