Jack-o'-Lanterns

(Found this picture on Google Images.)

Goblins
On the porches
Glare with slitted eyes,
Waiting for their callers:
Children in disguise.

Throats of
Liquid fire,
Eyes of candle flame-
Demons in the darkness,
Pumpkins when they're tame.

    "Throats of liquid fire" is such a great line! I also really like the carving jobs done on the pumpkins in the photo. Thanks for sharing!

    Ah! I know what it is! You can only follow 300 blogs! How LAME is that? Well, this will not do! I will have to delete some of the older non-posting blogs.
