Pumpkin Juice {Terra's Halloween Licentia Rhyme}

Through the garden the weeds are taking over;
The edges are covered within sweet clover.
a deep green plant is growing on the sidelines,
and along the dirt you can see the great vines.
Entangled within you see a small orange ball--
The frost seemed to have done nothing after all!
The giant oak tree sits beside the garden
her roots are seeping in, they are not hidden.
Leaves of orange crimson over lays the plant
Anything it wants the oak would surely grant.
And within their thoughts there is a forever--
and within their thoughts there is a forever.

Then the oak trees protection begins to fall--
Then the oak trees protection begins to fall
Beginning to loose sight of the incoming frost
She swore to protect it at all of her costs;
Some voices are heard far down in the distance.
Her undying will seemed to be subsistence;
as they walked down below her crunching her leaves.
They took with them the pumpkin, those little thieves.
To tear open and carve to their masterpiece;
her over lying pain never seems to cease.
And within their thoughts there is a forever
And within their thoughts there is a forever.

And the pumpkin juice is tossed upon the wall--
And the pumpkin juice is tossed upon the wall
where the raven's black eyes gaze upon the feast
from the darkest corners, comes another beast,
And soon there is a court yard full of monsters;
Surely they were fairytale characters --
but no, look there, the pumpkin juice- it awakes!
to take its revenge on the great oaks mistakes.
The raven cawed, and the beasts began to chant;
as the pumpkin juice became the assailant.
And within their thoughts there is a forever
and within their thoughts there is a forever.
