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.
I love the rhyme and flow in this Halloween poem :) i see the fun in the giving and experiencing of the nervous fright and also some cautionary advice.. given just before they head out for the night
i Love the voice in this poem, thank you for sharing :)
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.
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!
