 Headless Horseman Haunts Halloween

The headless horseman heads for the

haunted house of Harry, Harriet, and Haddie

to happily haunt on Halloween.

Truly terrified  they tell their tale

of snakes slithering through pumpkin patches

perilously peeking between bountiful bales of hay

high above apple trees towering tall –

a silhouetted sight in the spooky sky.

 His galloping gait grabs the ground

while the westerly wind whistles

as the hounds’ harsh howls

piercingly penetrate the mist masking the magic

of the neverending nebulous night.

Harry, Harriet, and Haddie hold hands

as they hide hushed with heavy hearts

behind the big broad bed’s backboard

in the commodious corner contemplating and calculating

 an impending escape although an appraisal of the

scary situation seemingly shouted silent seriousness

of the maniacal malicious muted moment.

High on the hill, the Headless Horseman halted his horse…

…WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
