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.

[AprilRN1210]

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!..

Pretty much rolled the whole Halloween thing up here.

Brings back lots memories of holidays past from the pranks to the costume parties
And spooky things that happen in the dark. (Along with the tempting teen teasing in the
Dark closet with a cute girl I didnt know) and jello shots...... (black jello is just wrong)

Enjoyed this poem. Makes me smile.

Thanks.
Trace

[TheLostMind]

Another great write April :).. I love the way you start it. I started off thinking ," ok. This one is gonna be scary" . Then, from the second stanza, it turns out to be quite amusing.. Good work.:)

[AprilRN1210]

not sure I could get away with scary, humor is definitely easier for me.. and giggled quite a bit while writing this one... I am glad you enjoyed it... thank you so much sir! always nice to see you:)

[TheLostMind]

Lol ya.. I don't think scary stuff suits you.. Humor is your forte :)

[AprilRN1210]

[TheLostMind]

[AprilRN1210]

[TheLostMind]

[DJ]

A fun hayride of a poem.Was a fun one.

[AprilRN1210]

tickled you enjoyed the ride!.. admit was fun being silly and writing it... thank you DJ, always a joy when you visit :)

[Rene Salinas]

The fun side of celebrations. Just reading this makes for instant aliviation of hardness and heavy feelings and makes me want to get into the mood of the season. Not only is the rhyme adequately phrased as the elements involved are not here invited to scare but to play but it also has such level of party attitude that, it feel like an invitation to go and have some fun right now! Sadly not a festivity widely celebrated around here so not even the children get to excited about it.

But after reading this I will definetly get some pumpkins and start carving.

Thankyou

[AprilRN1210]

oooooh yes!!!... it is fun!... and you are always invited... ever close to mississippi, would love to show you how we thrown down:)

glad you had fun with my attempt at sharing some of the festivities.. thank you Rene... you have made me smile my friend...

[Jack Wolfe]

Oh come on, it maybe western Christianity that once embraced, but not detest the idea of all hallows eve (or any other variant of the name), but didn’t the Pagan festivities—the origins—spread far and wide across the eastern countries? Or perhaps you’re just a candy miser, door locked, your children watching as you scarf down another Reese’s, “yum,” Cold blooded, man, cold blooded.

[AprilRN1210]

lmao..... ok.. that imagery made me giggle...

[Jack Wolfe]

For some reason, I can only picture the Simpson’s Reverend Lovejoy’s wife, “oh, won’t someone think of the children!”

[AprilRN1210]

lol... cute Doc... :P

[Mark]
