"Roll back the tombstone" (diptych for a poet born October 31, 1795)
I'll never live to see that beauty, that beauty, that same sad beauty again -- S.Nicks lyric
the taxidermied jack-o-lantern I hear John Keats
a petrified pastoral
a forever bright my brother's voice
orange, but artificial glow:
Halloween cast freed from the urn
a Grecian urn

Very nice. Especially that closing couplet.

Thanks, Bob,
I had hoped to post this on October 30th or 31st;
and maybe, if recommended/nominated, to agree to let it represent in the November IBPC.
But, too busy on the homefront; so it was the week late r
Today, I have refined the format, and an epigraph(superscript) has found its way to the poem.
