Halloween Spooks - Ii

HALLOWEEN – SPOOKS II At the door Little Boy Blue Kissed our pumpkin Mistress Mary too Shutters rattle Unearthly howls Ghastly sounds From Satan’s jowls Tattered scarecrow In the corn Comes to life The dead reborn Halloween pumpkin Big surprise Runny nose And bloodshot eyes Flee my children Here they come Graveyard creatures On the run In the kitchen Gary’s wife Chased by a spook With a carving knife Diddle, diddle pumpkin Old Mrs. Rich Rides on a broomstick She’s a witch!

If Mother Goose was a witch, these would be her favorite rhymes! Ghastly Goose's Nursery Rhymes for ghost, ghouls and monsters!

Yikes, this would give the kids nightmares, Daver! Trick or treaters, beware! I used to love the kids coming to the door, but now we are the only ones on this street (except for two others), that have their lights on. The town hall makes a Halloween party for the children, buggers!:) Last two years it had snowed, I'll bet "Mrs. Rich"s broomstick is now a shovel.:( Keep well, Love, Mikki

It's a scary time of year, no place to hide. Hope I can make it through that night when it comes. You did a great job building the suspense and creepy goings on Dave but then it's all part of your wild imagination!! :) Love,Eliz

This is a wonderful, simply gorgeous write! I am a huge fan of Halloween, and this poem, like your first one, exudes some really great characteristic of Halloween! My favorite stanza has to be the one that goes, "Halloween pumpkin, Big surprise, Runny nose, And bloodshot eyes" That stanza is incredible my friend! I have to say that they all are really fabulous, what awesome work you have done here! Are you into the Halloween mood now? I know I am! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!
