1/5 Hallowe'en -Joel Benton
Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite
All are on their rounds to-night,—
In the wan moon’s silver ray
Thrives their helter-skelter play.
Fond of cellar, barn, or stack redbubble.com/shop/ap/331985… #FolkloreThursday #illustration #art #poem #Halloween2026
4/5 Don’t we all, of long ago
By the ruddy fireplace glow,
In the kitchen and the hall,
Those queer, coof-like pranks recall? redbubble.com/shop/ap/332513… #FolkloreThursday #folklore #illustration #art #poem #Halloween2026 #vintage
5/5 Every shadows were they then—
But to-night they come again;
Were we once more but sixteen
Precious would be Hallowe’en.

1/3 All Hallows
Even now this landscape is assembling.
The hills darken. The oxen
sleep in their blue yoke,
the fields having been
picked clean, the sheaves redbubble.com/shop/ap/362779… #art #poem #literature #Halloween #spookymonth #gifts #wallartforsale #poetry #FairytaleTuesday
2/3 bound evenly and piled at the roadside
among cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:
This is the barrenness
of harvest or pestilence.
And the wife leaning out the window
with her hand extended, as in payment, redbubble.com/shop/ap/374476… #art #decor #FairytaleTuesday #Halloween
3/3 and the seeds
distinct, gold, calling
Come here
Come here, little one
And the soul creeps out of the tree.
