(this is a formal sonnet, iambic pentameter, 14 lines, rhyme scheme abababcc- abdabd)
Sonnet for Halloween
There comes around a certain time of year
When night comes early and leaves are wind-blown.
Then sights beyond all normal sense appear:
Fey spirits romp, witches fly and ghouls moan.
Why do such creatures fill us with chill fear?
Why do we stand in dread of the unknown?
Perhaps what threatens us is not dark arts,
But that dark swelling within our own hearts.
Which prospect truly is more bleak and drear:
To stand in moonlit graveyards all alone,
A haunted eerie uninviting place;
Or, inward looking, see horrors more near,
malice, evil and shadows all our own?
We are the monsters we dread most to face.
(c) beaulolais 2007

I applaude you. I love the form and the whole emotion behind the words. It's a great idea and I love looking at Halloween in a whole new light.
Bravo!
