Evermore, Sir!

(a Fibonacci poem for Halloween)
Trick
or
treaters
by the score
calling at our door.
A raven cries out “Please, sir — more!”
While bodies risen from the ground, buried long before,
join goblins, ghosts, and other hosts of nightmares; frightmares’ dark delights, dreadful to the
core,
and once a year we cheer this fear and get our fill, each chill a thrill. We’re children still down
deep inside where we must hide from guts and gore galore.
