Fall-s Assumptions

Emily Harris ’22

MonochromaTick tock, the time goesBye, bye fHalloween approaching faStop in your tracks!

Eerily we tiptoe past Hold our breath, but then aghast Watch frozen at the sight ahead What’s that you say We were misled

Witches and Werewolves and Warlocks, oh my Illusional, Impossible, Inconceivable, I cry Terrifying Tales of Terrible creatures Contrary: Companionable, Congenial, Considerate Company Heartening and Heartwarming Everything I Erroneously Envisioned Surreptitious Serene Scene I See

So if you stumble upon a Hallows Eve haunt Don’t fall to the tricks of their guise Push away your surprise and open your mind And join in their jubilant jaunt!
