Poem Title:
Poem
It wasn't the usual Halloween night Of parties and goblins, of which there'd been many It was a year of big changes, for our family had moved At ten years old, I was still struggling and shy And, in a brand new school, where no one gave me an eye I'd been replanted and torn,, forlorn and alone Late in October...uprooted and lost On Halloween night, it rained and it poured It seemed the end of the world...I was unhappy and bored Leaving what had been so familiar and sure Where our old street had been filled, with a million new thrills Now, here in the boondocks, ...no one came to the door I was dressed to go out...but storms drenched the night My mom understood....and tried to keep bright She went up to her room, made up her face She combed up her hair, until it stood on it's roots Covered her face with black fireplace soot She threw on her robe, and pulled on dad's boots Crept out the back door, and to the front porch When the doorbell rang....I jumped in delight! Trick-or-treaters had come to our house this dark night!! When I opened the door, at first I didn't see It was mom, ...trying to hard, bring me some glee! She grabbed me and laughed and pulled me to come Out into the rainstorm....up the road we would run We ran in the downpour, getting soaked to our skin Laughing and yelling....such fun it had been! Later that night, we warmed by the fire She let me stay up....no one was tired So cozy and warm...no longer so cold With popcorn, and candy...and the ghost stories told That one Halloween, on that night of the storm Was the best Halloween....and reminds me of home..... I'll never forget when each Halloween comes The candy, the fun.... and the gift from my mom.....
