All Hollows Eve

All Hollows Eve Tis now quite close to the midnight hour when the Witches and Warlocks take flight. Stealing cookies and candy right from your house as they soar through the shadows of night. All the havoc they cause in each room as they sneak. Not a sound nor a whisper they make. Flying off on their brooms with your Halloween treats. The wind howls as it snaps at their capes. The Gremlins and Goblins rise up around two through the cracks in the floor by your bed. Breaking your toys and eating your food leaving nightmares of sorrow and dread. The sun is now rising with the cry of the crow and the rooster sends his morning call. The Witches, Warlocks and Goblins all have gone home while the Gremlins stone eye watches all. All Hollows Eve, another year past. Let us now toast to the missing and dead. With one leg of a spider, some dust and some ash........ And a freshly cut lock from your head! The Applethoughtrotten

I'll bet you're a father, Mark, because you surely know how to tell a bewitching tale that would both frighten and delight children. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
