Spooky Night

Deep into October's longest night
Bats are flying, moon shining bright
A chilly wind is howling
Or is it a werewolf?
A door is creaking
Lights fluttering...
Suddenly,
A ghost.
Boo!!

Today I didn't feel like following the theme of the prompt (messenger), but I did follow the form (a nonet).
Hallowe'en is coming you guys!! 😊

      Yes, I needed a little lightness in my life, and my children are starting to think a lot about Halloween, so... it was the obvious theme! Thank you for reading and commenting, your words are always valued!

    This was fun! I hope you don't mind but I may share it with my students when we do our poetry unit.

      How old/what grade are your students?
      Sleep has been eluding me, but reading your comment is making me smile big!
