Darkness Opened Wide

Little
Miss Witch nose twitched.
Bewitched a mundane stitch;
Halloween clown from head to toe
trick, treat.

She walked
Down the dark street
With sweet sounds of laughter.
Skittles, candy corn, M&Ms
Bag full

One, two,
Three, sudden; Poof!
Black spike hat, gown, and boots
Holding a kitten as black cat
Looked out.
