October poem

On the east coast of England
There is a town's main land
Whose graveyard is raised on a hill

And in that old city
Both cobbled and gritty
The harbor is viable still

The city is famed
For its jet and its name
That is given in Dracula's books

The harbor is seen
From tombstones turned green
As the bay the church overlooks

Baltic amber was brought
And with jet it was wrought
To form jewelry fit for the queen

The amber and jet stone
Are of orange and black tone:
The colors of our Hallowe'en.
