Halloween Poem I Like - Sandburg

[Saranne Gans <SGans@CISTERCIAN.ORG>]

Dear All,
I made bookmarks with this poem years ago, and I always drag them out. I
give full credit to Carl Sandburg.

Theme in Yellow

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And children know
I am fooling.

Happy October and Peace.
