Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Full Moon

ghosts and goblins
trick or treating
for bags of candy
and toffee apples on a stick

children roam streets
as costumed fairies
looking for sweet treats
to rot their teeth

scary pumpkins
carved with care
eerie sounds
while darkness falls

tiny tots hold parent’s hands tightly
as the streets fill up with characters
dressed from angels and devils
and everything in between

creaking doors
in dead of night
graveyards come to life
everyone knows it’s hallow’s eve

Gershon Wolf January 31, 2021 at 8:21 PM Interesting that your thoughts turned to Halloween in January. What better time, I suppose, for kids to rot their teeth?! lol... Truth be told, before the pandemic, a walk down the street in Manhattan, San Francisco, or the South Side of Chicago was scarier than Halloween any day. lol. ~ Just digging up some thoughts here Line Gauthier February 1, 2021 at 10:38 AM I just came across my draft and thought I'd git 'er done ~ LOL thanks, Gershon
