Halloween Poem "The Halloween Visitor"

Fun halloween Poem that makes fun of our fears!

The Halloween Visitor

By Ken Edwards

 

It is time once again for a little friendly fright

 

We once more say Hello to Halloween night

 

Time to say trick or treat

 

I hope I get lots of good things to eat

 

Who knows you might even see a ghost

 

You better hope in your home they choose not to host

 

It also a night of tricks and fun

 

Time to tune up your Howling… for another run

 

On this night the wind loves to blow through the trees

 

It makes a frightening whistle that shakes you to your knees

 

In the distance you hear the sound of thunder in your ears

 

It only reinforces and conjures up your fears

 

You wish now you had not turned down the party invite but you felt tired as a dog

 

Now it starts to blanket and bring in an eerily thick fog

 

The skies open up like a dark velvet curtain and it begins to rain

 

Lightning strikes nearby drilling chills into your brain

 

You decide to pop some corn on your stove

 

The rain pounds like hammers and in your ears is wove

 

You choose to watch a scary movie all alone

 

Saying nervously to yourself I hope I am the only one home

 

You question what was that sound on the stairs that went bump?

 

It made you spill your popcorn and take a little jump

 

Hopefully now you don’t hear a door go creak…..

 

That will give you a startle and make it hard to speak

 

Who is that knocking at your door?

 

It awakes your mind as you put your feet to the floor.

 

You go to the front door and see it is slightly ajar

 

Opening it quickly you see a scary clown with a scar

 

In a very low voice he wishes you,” Sweet Dreams”

 

He grabs a piece of candy from the bowl and leaves with a scream

 

You close and lock the door and look at the clock on the wall

 

Halloween in over according to the chiming clock in the hall

 

It is time to go bed but you know you will get no sleep

 

You mop your floors and give them a good sweep

 

The morning breaks through the window with its soothing light

 

You breathe a sigh of relief about your silly fears and you know you made through another Halloween night

 

You go out the front door to get your paper and look down.

 

There is the mask from that familiar creep clown

You see that something is written inside and it quotes

 

The English is bad and this is one crazy note

 

It reads,”Look for me again as the next Halloween draws near.”

 

“Because I shall return to haunt your mind once more, My Dear!”

 

Happy Halloween
