ebullient

princesses aplenty
and ghosts and goblins too
superheroes resplendent
in their capes
the ghouls float by ebullient
tiny witches practice cackles
cats meow and wolfmen howl
all the people
incognito
cloaked in mystery
time creaks on
becoming history
the autumn carnivale
for the kiddies and us all
treats piled in their bags
the sugar high will last
until turkey
brings somnambulance
with winter and it's storms
a rehearsal for the years to come
