A full moon on Friday the 13th inspired my family to go outside, explore, and gaze at the sky.

A bit of a fright
To get the mood right
October is upon us
It’s a full moon tonight
A full week of school
Workdays that drool
It’s finally Friday
Let’s do something cool
After dinner and games
After dishes and stains
At the door we all stood
And we couldn’t contain
Above, a night sky
Full moon up so high
A Friday the 13th
And a walk we did try
Spiders and black cats
Gators but no rats
Walking legs ready
Sturdy and steady
Ready for treats
Collecting some sweets
Bags all in hand
The kids will compete
But tonight, just the moon
Stepping out the cocoon
Prepping for the big day
Halloween’s underway!
