A Ballad For Mayaween

By: Somerled Posted on: October 29, 2012

Clacks and clanks and rattled bones, and eerie breezes blow

This time of year, hauntingly clear, a season we all know

With bony steeds and spider webs, and eyeballs all afloat

The undead cheer, the vampires grin, the ghoulish legions gloat

Night's moons are full, the wind it howls, the jackolantern jeers

The candied bugs and jelly slugs, they sugar coat our fears

The costumes donned, the masks they take a life all of their own

Adven'trurs turn from folks we know to ghasts that wail and moan

Decorations all about, casting low-light, eerie glows

The moon's red hue with blotted spots of squawking, pitch black crows

So know this well, and heed my words, the lines read inbetween

When spooks and spirits all abound, you'll know it's Mayaween
