Through triangle eyes
He glared at the night
He stared at the night
He dared the night
To try and break through
His stalwart candlelight
He had read
Of a serpent
On a medieval page
Who loathed all pumpkins
And in a serpentine rage
Would crush the life
From innocent gourds
Leaving pieces scattered about
For the rampaging hordes
He heard the leaves rustle
Crackle
And break
Oh no! It was that
Evil and Ancient old snake!
It wrapped round his midriff
And he started to shake
He found it surprisingly fuzzy
For a centuries old snake
And in that moment
As it started to lean
He realized it was only Dummy
Dressed up for Hallowe’en!
Happy Hallowe’en
From Sammy
And Zeus
Medieval Pumpkin Dragon ~ Ink and metallic watercolor, 11×9 inches
My rather shabby Latin reads “Beware the Pumpkin Dragon ~ It will eat your Eyes ~ Your Heart ~ And steal your breath ~ Beware!
