Today I can see

Today I can see

bonfires burning bright

smoke rising in the night

sun shining softer, coming up slow

leaves falling down, pastel yellow

year’s almost done, not far too go

Halloween is nearing,

so light up your candle

I can almost hear the children laughing

Excited vampires and goblins running

Creaky cobwebbed cracking coffins open

Subdued screams, monsters awakening

dismembered limbs from car trunks dangle,

a flying witch

Β straddling a broom handle. Β Β Β 

Then sweetly moves the autumn breeze

angelic music playing in the trees

with the shimmer of Christmas lights

Not far off in the distance

My Brother Poet Chris,

Today we can see the unbelievable talent of our greatly gifted poetic brother, Christopher Correia. Β You have brought us to an early Halloween, yet prepared us for all the joys of life we will soon experience. Β So thank you our dear poetic brother, for an early questioningΒ of deciding whether it is "Trick or Treat".

Peace and Love,

xox Larry
