Sweet

Sweet                                                              

Little pumpkin pop

a crooked

jagged smile

bitten into it

cuts a crooked

jagged death

into you

So keep Jack’s lanterns lit

till the moon begins to fall

and all have got their candy

or risk a visit from a sweetie

that will make your blood run sour
