Poem
I was yet a child With a smile so sweet and a temper so mild I was yet a child, so ecstatic For it was here, at last, the night known to be so bleak Halloween, here at last Why, with honeyed candies shall I feel blessed Even if to be all safe, I shall maybe have to seek the help of an exorcist At last, at last, it is here, the night during which the living and the dead are entwined Dressed as a little witch I tried to make as if my tight clothes did not make my skin itch I would scare the whole neighborhood Indeed, so scared would the whole world be, that to me it would behave as one, so good! I walked in the night, feeling so bold Holding on to the fingers of my mother, holding on so hard For the night was scary Even if it did promise me more than a million candy We walked in the neighborhood, trick and treating My mound of treasure candy was growing And my heart was beating Surely, on this Halloween, I would be the great candy Queen! Grand was the moon, so full and bright It seemed to be made of fairies' light Accompanying us in our spree Giving us all the light we needed, for free The night smelled of freshly mowed grass The night smelled of pine leaves The night smelled of romance I could smell it all, even if I was still a young princess Halloween night was marvelous We saw all sorts of creatures roaming the night We never knew which was human and which was supernatural What mattered was only the magical night, seeming to be so precious I came back home, and fell right on my bed, in deep sleep The next morn did bid me to take the time to count my treasure Why, I did become a Queen indeed The Queen bearing all the candies, amassed in spooky trick or treating!
