tale..........

tale............

its the day of Halloween, kids 

rejoice themselves in the attires, 

dressing as ghosts and monsters 

visit door to door, seek pleasantries 

at mid in the nights 

during a year, a long ago

it was so happened

to the surprise of a cute kid

as he lost the group & cut off

from the rest ,found himself

at the door of frightening

old woman, looking ugly

scary as witch, as the kid

entered the shanty 

a thunderstorm struck

to his scare, with roaring sound

kid took a leapt out of shock

hugged the dame - a beldam

no sooner did she took him

in her arms, then the kid 

turned

into, handsome young lad 

with she too, being turned 

into majestic  Missy maid

and as, they both espoused 

made their souls marry 

together and lived on forever

a fairytale 

I always enjoy to recall 

                          and remember..............!
