Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Tale of Jack O'

Jack O' Lantern of Irish lore

Tells of a devilish Jack who

Enjoyed playing mean tricks galore,

And even tricked the devil - true!

So when Jack died, heaven would not

Let him in and sent him to hell,

Where the devil who'd not forgot

Jack's tricks said no to him as well,

And sent Jack back to Earth to roam

About at night, lighting his way,

A hollowed carved face pumpkin dome,

With lit coal inside to display.

And still today, stuck 'twixt and 'tween,

Jack's seen roaming on Halloween.
