Halloween, it’s trick or treat

Does that make it sickly sweet?

Would you prefer a devilish trick?

Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick

Beware the goblins chasing ghosts

They’ll scare you out of your earthly host

Perhaps it’s better to just stay in

Away from all the spirited din

Remember, keep your doors shut tight

And turn on all the outside lights

Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats

And of course, those skeletons, riding bats

Beware of those who come your way

Unfriendly beings are not sweet today

With a flick of a wrist, she draws them about

No need for a costume, she’s real, there’s no doubt

They fly around her, like suitors, not pets

No matter their fate, they’ll have no regrets

For they are the ones, the protectors of she

Who will fall to their death, her sweet devotees

Should they be unable to fight away others

Jeopardize this woman, their chiropteran mother

She’s unafraid to reveal, as nighttime does fall

That she’s merely a girl, with bats that enthrall

Though she is no marvel, in DC she reigns

Searching for the likes of a man they call Wayne

Sounds of Nightfall

The rustle of a tree

As it gently blows free

The hoot of an owl

Before his evening prowl

The flap of a bat’s wings

As the air softly sings

Twilight’s dusk heeds the call

The beautiful sounds of Nightfall
