who ya gonna call?

Bone-chillin’ squealin’ echoing through the night

creepy, crawly feelin’ somethin’ ain’t right

hear the pitter-patter of little feet

tiny toddlers hidden under white sheets.

 

Spiderman, Cinderella

some small scary fella

Spongebob, Minnie Mouse

all come running to your house.

 

Gangs doin thangs you never would

boys-in-tha-hood up to no good

stealin candy knockin’ at your door

hoarding the goods comin’ back for more.

 

Sneaky spooks lookin’ to scare

booby traps set everywhere

boyfriend’s friends actin’ school age

mischievous looks written on their face.

 

Party time strobe lights flashin’

older folks monster mashin’

hay rides and backwood fires

tipsy teens tempting desires.

 

 

If you’re ever in the south

you know who to call

just drive on down

Cuz we’re havin’ a ball.

The scariest thing about this is that it is not scary at all. Hehe... liked how it has a cheerful, childish touch to it.

We never have had Halloween in our country but know the gist of it and of course have seen the movie series and countless shows that have their 'scary' episodes.

Hey stranger!!... yea.. I dunno if I could ever be scary.. ha.. so don't even try!.. cheerful and fun I can do :P

I am glad you enjoyed this little glimpse into my festivities, thank you!..

Thanks for the Halloween spirit most of us have got it in us. It hasn't left me since I was a child but here I am at 57 all good dogs go to heaven. You tale of the crazy boys from the hood could of been my neighborhood all the talk of ghost goblins and witches leaves me in stitches. I'm not afraid of devils night its the morning after the clean up the mess left behind by the party goers and the trick or treaters. Beat wishes to your spirit this halloween may it find its right place as it seems. Nice writings my April Queen.

This was such a playful, rhythmic dance into the darkness of the season! Could see it all coming alive as the sun slips down and the moonlight rises over darkened streets... The whole world of Halloween's mystery rises up line by line... and it made me remember my own experiences growing up in California... wandering the streets... wondering what might rise up just around the next turn... Now for you... trick or...

[AprilRN1210]

This was great April. Sadly in Australia Halloween is not celebrated as much but I have always been a huge fan and each year im as creepy as can be and up to no good with my two children. We have an absolute ball.

This made me smile:)

Happy Halloweens April to you and your folks. It was a delightful read and all fun. We did not have Halloweens back then but still took great pleasure in scaring people by becoming ghosts. Did not have to try too hard though ;)

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you Avinash... I am glad you enjoyed and had fun.. I am a big scaredy cat so doesn't take much with me either.. :)

[ANM]

This was a kooky crazy ride and it made me laugh. Could do with some Southern hospitality!

[AprilRN1210]

hey you!!!.. tickled you enjoyed the fun!.. thank you.. come on down:)

[ANM]

I'm on the plane.........P

[AprilRN1210]

I ain't afraid of no ghost!.. :P

[ANM]

Ha ha but you would get a biG shock me peering through your window!!!

[Woody]

though this is something we don't have in my neck of the woods, we enjoy watching it on TV, wistfully might I add.
you're an amazing poetess, April (but this you know) with a great sense of humour (this you might not know). loved this to bits.

[AprilRN1210]

oh Woody, you have just made my day!.. thank you, my sweet friend.. that means a lot coming from you.... glad I could share a little of my celebrations with you.. :)

[Christopher Robin]

Frighteningly fantastic frivolity served sweetly, succinctly and succulently.

Damn it there's just nothing to fault.

Well done!

[AprilRN1210]

hey stranger!.. It is nice to see you.. I hope all is well wayyy over there.. Been keeping an eye out to see if posted anything new.. anxiously waiting ya know... this one at least got a smile, yes?.. song always makes me giggle.. was fun writing.. glad you enjoyed sir.. wahooo!... escaped without critique.. *happy dance*... :D
thank you!

[Christopher Robin]

Things are ok, crazy busy with uni and life but there's one or seven things floating around that are slowly becoming something....

You'll slip up soon enough! I'll catch you out!

Nice to see you too!

-Robin

[AprilRN1210]

If anyone can, it would be you.. and we both know it will happen sooner than later.. at least let me savor sweet victory a little first, jeez!

slowly... grrrrr... makin the fans beg for it I see.. nice tactic..:P
greatness takes time right?... think that is part of my problem.. get itchy to write... need to slow down.. might try that approach... sloooooooooooow.. yep... next one dedicated to you and slooooooowly savoring simplicity.. for some reason the song "slow ride" just popped into my head.. means its about time for bed.. silliness kickin in.. (yes, there ARE varying degrees in my head)-sleepy is like RED alert.. run and don't look back!
