Halloween's Cry

A cold chill fills the night As fallen leaves dance with fright Bats and witches prepare to fly The time has come for Halloween’s cry. The blustery night is filled with dread Among the living walk the dead Haunted houses come alive Inner fears begin to thrive. Bones rattle in a skeleton’s dance As mummies rise to take a stance Shivers creep up the spine Out of the dark golden eyes shine. Ghost and goblins wander the streets Ringing each bell for tricks or treats Moans and groans fill the night Masking each town with Halloween’s fright. Carved pumpkins flash a grin Scary tales begin to spin Witches cackle, Bats shriek Dark shadows silently speak. Dogs bark, cats prowl Doors creak, Winds howl A harvest moon fills the sky The time has come for Halloween’s cry.
