Candy Calls

Shadows prowl early evening.

A diminutive witch and Spiderman
huddle at an unknown door.
The creep within
rubs himself again.

A dad suspects laced candy
ushers kids away.

Tell all, tell the town,
hell is already here
dressed as a clown.

creepy award for sure - yikes! is it okay if I just say I appreciated that it evoked a response, rather than saying I liked it? :-)
