Halloween

Through motionless leaves an eerie wining
Ghosts and werewolves from graves arising
With growls and moans winged monsters riding
For night of vengeance bloody swords sharpening
Headless knights with fury and anger galloping
Witches near fires in caldrons blood are stirring
Sound of heavy steps and loud breathing nearing
Owls hoot midnight the bloody vengeance beginning
Goose bumps on skin and frightened hair standing 
BOO!  It’s Halloween! Treat or tricking.
