Notes About The Poem

This poem remembers what Halloween used to be like and is still like for many children across the globe.

Children Enjoy Halloween

Eager children await sweet treats
And colourful bags that have been filled
As well as pumpkins lined up to greet

Their tricks make the treats increase
All of the kids are thrilled
Eager children await sweet eats

A Jack-o-lantern is the centrepiece
And a black cat has just appeared
Pumpkins flicker along the streets

In scary ghosts, there's no belief
Ghost hunters are thrilled
Reaching out their hands for treats

Singing to the beat
Of cupcakes colour-sprinkled
Pumpkins are chanting along the street

Tonight, there'll be a feast
As Halloweeners' wishes are fulfilled
Eager witches give kids sweet treats
As ghouls and goblins fly to drumbeats!

Hi Laura Loved reading your poem about Halloween. I clicked on this one as I'm interested in the villanelle form. There are very few villanelles on soup. We need more. Hope to read more of your poems. Best wishes. Tony

I enjoyed the poem very much. You caught the mood of the holiday very well. Reminded me of long ago.
