It is the season of the witch,  
and my pen feels a certain itch:

to capture vampire turning bats  
and unfamiliar black cats  
emerging from cold, dusty rooms  
behind them, witches on their brooms  
fly to a coven by the moon.

They'll dance their dance and sing their tune  
while scarecrows come to life and wake,  
the monsters creep out from the lake,  
the jack-o-lanterns smile, no teeth  
but something stirs way down beneath  
as coffins open, gravestones twitch...

It is the season of the witch.
