giggling children pull synthetic webbing tight
this front yard tree did not mind its branches bound

cotton candy webs festoon neighborhood round
polymer birds, quickly caught, and ***** in flight

snakes gathered motionless on leaves and grass
waiting for a standing rubber rat's first move

as cold breezes begin to fog in evening's loony mood
tattered fabric clouds consume remaining day's pass

now night extends its long and hairy legs in cramps
as shadows move among threads suspended stiff

All Hallow's Eve howls its curdled screams
spiders creep, crawl and wrap sweet cadaver corpses
