                               Colorful  glow  in  the  dark  costumes.   
                            Witches,   vampires,    monster,    zombies,   
                   mummies , ghost, ghouls,  pirates, fairies, and ninjas 
            Giggles and  tickles,  filling  their  tummies  with   yummies
          They  walk      around the neighborhood knocking        on   doors 
       with shouts         “Trick - or- Treat!  Fill  my   bag            I want candy.”
     Darkness of            twilight, shadows of moonlight,                 cold night.
   Carved pumpkins, lite candles flickering and dancing sitting on c o n c r e t e    blocks, presence of a dark spirit  near        casting eerie chilling, howling fear.    
 Haunted house, KEEP OUT sign,                    broken  fence,  harvest   mouse.
 Bubbling caldrons, glittering                              white silhouette skeletal trees. 
  Easterly wind        perfect  for  a  ride  on  a broom   stick         serenading 
    the moon  and play   among     the    stars     before it starts to fade into
       morning twilight.                                                            Don’t lose
                your way through       haunted        hallow       you might 
                     stand in the absent of sound, fog hanging close to
                       the ground and caressing, fear will come close   
                                             This is Halloween
