- Halloween Night -

Spirits and ghosts in haunted places Elves, witches, vampires and goblins The night is black as a gigantic and unfathomable dark hole A night of magic and excitement The souls of the dead, disguised in costumes Witches who want to take their revenge and blood thirsty vampires Eerie feeling and goosebumps A being passing by with his head under his arm Hear rattling chains and screams Devilish laughter touch my senses is it the dead leaves from the yard tree Heavy, cracking step on the stairs ... The entrance door opens slowly .. A gust of cold autumn air fills the room ... .... I smile ... it's Halloween 08.09.2013 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Sponsor Russell Sivey Contest Name Everything Halloween Deadline 10/24/2013 12:00:00 AM

Very descriptive poetry of Halloween Horrors... we choose not to celebrate it in our home... not true to our belief system, but the lighter side would be the fun in the dressing up.
