^A Halloween Tale^

^A Halloween Tale^

A Poem by Fran Marie
"

for children of all ages

"

 

Now all ye children, gather 'round
as I tell a tale of Halloween town
with ghost and goblins flying about
and monsters will get ya! if you don't watch out.
 
Jack 'O Lanterns wear a face of fright
as a haloed moon shines an eerie light
while black cats haunch and pounce to scare
and witches will get ya! if you're not aware.
 
Sounds that will make you freeze in your steps
Oh, be careful, beware, 'lest you forget
that Hallow's Eve, is slight of hand
and the spooks will get ya! if you don't understand.
 
Now all ye children, go out if you must
but be wary of whom you may trust
of all things untamed, heard or seen
and no one will get ya! this Halloween.

Sweet, cautious message to the young and not so young alike.

Last year as the children trudged to our door the thought struck me how swiftly the table turns: I was now the 'seasoned stranger' and the children were in my place...fully, completely, permanently.

Nice work, Fran Marie...;)

It is hard to believe that already we are thinking of Halloween and the upcoming holidays.
This was a delightful read with a message hidden very tactfully within your words. I enjoyed
my visit with you very much.

Have a wonderful weekend

Kowel.
I like the little tale you made up, and the way the poem flows.
If you didn't enter this in the Halloween contest I suggest you do, it's good enough to win =).

Awesome i loved it. I thought it was cleverally written and very entertaining. It was a lot of fun and made me smile. The ryhming was well done. None of it was forced. This poem made me think of a old women trying to scare the children one cold, dark night. hahaha. well done. good job

This was really fun to read, and you did a great job at capturing the essence that truly is Halloween. You wrote this nicely with great flow, and a struggle for words is not evident. I really like as it reads more like a story that you are actually reading to kids. Great job!
