Halloween Haunting
The harsh crisp air of autumn,
was full of howling hysteria.
Haunting hearsay folklore creatures,
beneath the climbing wisteria.
Historic tale of Sleepy Hollow,
horrible sounds as night unfolds.
Steeped in habitual tradition,
leaves heaped in orange and golds.
Time for scary to replace humdrum,
ghost and goblins roam the streets.
Monsters with hooks for their hands,
knocking on doors, begging for treats.

This was great Sandy and I love the ghost just flying around
up there giving a little extra life to the tale,
This was fun to read, and a great usage of the word bank,
I love how you used the word humdrum '
Time for scary to replace humdrum" was wondering how people were going to sneak that in,
