Analysis of Ichabod. Gone the Glory. Sleepy Hollow.



Worst part of trip.
October sombre mood

Moon peeking from cloud.

Leaves rustle complaint.

Reminds me of Ichabod.

Schoolmaster on loan.

After jolly banqueting.

Chased by maniacal

Brandishing candled pumpkin.

With hacked out

Face of hate and horror.

If only to cross

The Bridge up ahead

And dive into Inn’s bed.

Settling one’s head.
