Halloween: a Fragment

One winter weary dreaming 
they chance upon my door
several ghastly ghouls 
screaming for some more
insistently they went on tapping
rapping at my door
Quietly creeping silently weeping
crept I to the chamber door
standing indecisive
with  I my hand upon the door
heart beating memory fleeting
flung I open the door
T'was Halloween
this and nothing more

Liet, a nod to Poe it sounds like. Nicely done.
