Black Cat Night

It's a black cat Halloween night. Meow!
Sleek and lurking in the moonlight. Wow!
And they turn an inquisitive yellow eye,
When the little ghosts and goblins go by.

Ebony night, pitch black and gleaming,
Monsters visit on a night that's dreaming,
And everywhere black cats, as if on cue,
As devils and witches make a hullabaloo!

Black cat yowling, blood-curdlingly loud,
So titillating the appreciative crowd.
Silken darkness in the starlight glimmer,
And suddenly another moonlight skimmer!

I love everyones' Halloween Night poems, as we do not have Halloween in South Africa, and I would love to experience the agony and the ecstasy of it. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I was introduced to Halloween by an aunt, who took me trick or treating for the first time. The joy and wonder of that night is a precious memory. I am enjoying reading the exceptional Halloween poems as well. Thank you very much. Hugs and blessings :=)

You always know how to do good meter, I'm not good at that and I don't think I have the patience for it... A fitting poem for this contest..

I had my best Halloween ever when I was 8. My brother and I collected bags of candy and 2 stray cats. :)
