Ode to October

Haunting to me

Could be a melody

A memory

Something there

But out of reach

A phrase,

A word

Something heard

A plaintive cry

A forlorn beseech

To others, fear

Of terrors dark

Corrupting the soul

With evil's mark

So whatever

Haunting means to you

Just be careful

How you view

That melody

Or plaintive cry

Of soul's terror

Or evil's sigh

It could be

The last you hear

Just before you . . . . . .
