Ichabod. Gone the Glory. Sleepy Hollow.



Creepy passageway.

Worst part of trip.
October sombre mood

Moon peeking from cloud.

Leaves rustle complaint.

Reminds me of Ichabod.



Schoolmaster on loan.

After jolly banqueting.

Sleepy Hollow.

Chased by maniacal

Headless horseman.

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.
