drawbridge in across the moat immediately
isnt it funny how the intuition grows eyes and ears
this time of year while the princess wears cornsilk
to know: that footstep light as snow and ghosts is wrong
batten down, seize quilts from attics for that North Wind is ill
bind no cherry bright frill of thread tonight
upon the tapestry of light
by candlelight and with a good will
eat candy corn from noon till morn
see by the moonlight the blank form forewarned
seeking a farther stair and worn
beware. say a prayer.
carve letters of orange and black
get back get back from the sizzling cat
tack the nightmares downy down down.
all safe and sound way under
the Evening Star.
