Halloween Street Scenes

Stars glistening down on a shiny puddled street
Kids running around for "trick or treat"
Black cats sliding around every corner
Funeral home lights glowing on each mourner

Bats blindly flying,
Night birds crying

Faces of the homeless, peering out from an alley,
Places where you slink by and dare not dally
Tramps huddled on a bench, just skin and bones
Holding out their hands for passers-by loans

Owls hooting far up in trees
Stealthy gray squirrels scooting where they please
Lone dog howling in the dark
Candy-wrappings blowing around in the park

Jack-o-lanterns shining through windows
Ghostly white moon glows
