Tangled archway
    shadows the trail -
        juniper caresses oak.

Touching above the trail:
Pale juniper berries,
yellow oak leaves.

An orange leaf
  lands
on the sunning lizard.

Paper shrouded lights
glow above friends.
Outside, pumpkins grin.

Corn, wired to posts,
rustles by lit pumpkins,
under the Hunter's Moon.

A ghost,
carefully hung from a limb,
sways under the Hunter's Moon.

Autumnal scents
and steamy warmth -
apple butter making time.
