All Souls Night

All Souls Night O the ghastly wind Rattles the bones of the dead Look not in mirrors Lock your doors and hide Spirits dance and laugh in glee Fear their only food Tempt your fate with treats Trade your soul for just one bite Bitter end tonight For the "Sweetheart's "Halloween Haiku" Contest

Don't you go trading your soul, Jimbo. Treats may seem sweet but they can be bitter in the end! Great entry for the haiku contest! Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn
