Halloween Night

Halloween Night Before the night is done; Out before the setting sun, Children good and mean, one by one In Halloween costumes run Through the neighborhood Yelling, Trick or Treat. Feeling good, Gleaning as much candy and fruit cache; Laying out their mischief play Before the night begun to grey. With a spell curtains close and lights banish, Children and grown-ups vanish, Under nights cloak of slumber, And the spell of Halloween does encumber. Death rattles the bones Under their headstones, Moans of unknown beckon With every growling second. In the darkness the ferocious winds howl Echoing voices of lost souls, moods so foul. Trees tremble, creak, and shudder Losing their limbs as leaves flutter. Shadows run and hide into the depth of nowhere, As Frankenstein and his bride round the square. Werewolf painful howls of transformation he cannot bear. Cackling witches and their feline On flying broomsticks, above the tree line. Bats and ghost fly in front of the laughing moon Fly, fly my pretties, fly! and non to soon Before the excitement of sins. Till at last the day begins. 10/17/2020 Children Story
