Le Voyage Magnifique

All Hallows Eve

Stoically stalking,
Reaper roams banks of the Styx
with ax to spread woe.

Character in crape
cunningly creeping across
to cook his éclair

from frothing phobia
and fractious fingers of fear--
fee-fi-fo-fum. Yum!

Traipsing through the trees
to a tryst with victims lured
into his trusty traps.

Leave no doubt. There'll be
unalleviated grieving
on All Hallows Eve.
