King of Autumn

Well fancy that

This crazy cat

Might be Jack

Dressed in black

He’s something mean

A Jacket green

And when unseen

He goes about

Not known to pout

Or sulk at all

But terribly tall

a dreadful grin

He’s full of win

Ding Dong Dell

The midnight Bell

It’s frightful ring

For the Pumpkin King

Dark place

This is my dark place.
My safe place.
I paint my own magic here
and no one can stop me
this dark place my true home.
This curtain of warm comforting night
