A Spooky Time Called Halloween

A SPOOKY TIME CALLED HALLOWEEN

 

The night had grown dark,

As the monsters began their walk;

Witches flew their brooms up high,

Among the bats in the sky;

Ghosts floated across the land,

Beside crooked men with crooked hands;

Vampires' fangs dripping blood

And the dead emerged from the mud,

As twisted, wrenched ghouls roamed about

And the insane ventured out;

Skeletons wandered through the streets,

In search of "tricks or treats;"

So, when they knock on your door,

Pretend you don't live there, anymore,

Because what's outside will make you scream;

It's a spooky time called "Halloween."

I was going to save this for a more appropriate time of year, but I wanted to enter in it the "Something Wicked this Way Comes. . ." contest!

Not one of my favorite subjects or time of year. I like the part in search of trick or treats to the end of the poem. So many bad things happen on Halloween, like kids getting things that they shouldn't in their treats ( very sad) or older ones doing things they think is funny and it is anything but funny when they distroy property. It used to be so much fun. Good write though.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

An excellent depiction of Halloween. You made it very scary and descriptive...well done.

[Jenny Nelson]

Quite descriptive. Really mixes a spooky feel with a spooky sight. Well done.

[Samuel Dickens]

You describe what sounds to me like a proper, good Halloween night, full of spooks hungry for candy.

As twisted, wrenched ghouls roamed about
And the insane ventured out;
Skeletons wandered through the streets,
In search of "tricks or treats;"

what fun and erie images you express at the same time... Halloween is such a fun time and so is this poem.
