Written for:  The Sunday Whirl, Wordle #525

Words: light, dusk, trick, trial, ring, bat, ghoulish,
       floor, scarlet, damp, chime, fright


Rosy dusk cedes to 
darkness.  Clock chimes
twelve times.  Midnight, 
Halloween.  Street lights 
halo ghoulish shapes.  Air
is damp with fog, yet,
headstones are frightfully
illuminated.  What tricks
will be played tonight?  
Bats hang upside down
from tree limbs.  Scarlet
eyes blink.  Candy wrappers
plaster floors.  Ghosts ring 
bell after midnight, a trial 
for dogs already hoarse
from barking at each
intruder.  Do not answer
the door.
