Ghosts of October

When the rooster goes to crow

  all the ghosts must start to go 

back to their cold graves below.

Unless it's October 

when the fog leaves slower 

the ghost may stay over.

 Autumn fog is so thick

 to the spirits it may trick 

into believing daylight wont stick. 

 Though they may share the day

 while the sunlight's away

 at night they all play

For in the dark they grow bright 

with the chill of deathly fright

 as pumpkins grin into the night.

But where are the living to stay 

when the ghost walk the day

 and chase warm souls away?

We'll pray they'll remember 

to return to the grave come November 

and rest till leaves burn again like an ember.
