As the dark descends...
It's not just HalloweenThat creeps and gloms,
It's the gloom of nights that seep
Into our days earlier and earlier.
Autumn gleefully parades
Her fiery cadmium yellows and oranges
But...
We'd better imprint them fast
Before
They're sucked into rich burnt umbers
And eventually deep lamp blacks
Before our ever-surprised eyes.
After all these years
I'm still amazed
And, yes...
Charmed.
...
Have fun treating and/or tricking tonight.
And
Have a great Mo/November.
Be sure to remember
To remember
On the eleventh:
Vonnegut
Et al.
His birthday
And his pleas
For humanity.
...
If this isn't nice, what is?
~ Kurt Vonnegut, of course
