Eve Roper Poet Cinquain

Halloween Candy Hangover

 Oh my!
Halloween night
Of fun and spooky fright
Moonlight creating flickering
Shadows

Children
Quite elated
Trick-or-treating with friends 
Who’s creepiest with make-up and
Costumes

Evening
Getting cooler
Night is getting darker
Children walking with bright flashlights
Chilling

Goblins,
Haunted houses,
Black cats, witches on brooms,
Owls hoot, bats silhouette the moon
Eerie!

Carved out
Spooky pumpkins 
Glowing flickering eyes 
Watch out for small ghost and goblins
Door sign

Grumpy
Children to bed 
Sick with crampy  tummies
Halloween candy hangover 
Nightmares

Caren Krutsinger October 18, 2021 at 11:09 AM I do believe that both of us love Halloween Eve! Well done! I am enjoying your Halloween poems today! Each different in every way than the next.

Sara Kendrick October 15, 2021 at 4:29 AM Never been there nor done that but I am sure that some children do get quite sick from too much sugar when they go trick or treating. Enjoyed reading your work. If for a contest, reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara

Jennifer Proxenos October 14, 2021 at 11:30 PM I'm happy for you all that you have this fun celebration once a year do grow ups also go out trick a treating, guess it is dangerous though for someone that has ill intent - these celebrations could be a good cover up for them. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Vijay Pandit October 14, 2021 at 10:02 AM Each one a lovely image of Halloween--together even more so--they make a splendid poem, Eve.

Mike Gentile October 14, 2021 at 4:12 AM Eve, your Halloween write is as sweet as its subject illuminates! So many wonderful images ran through my head that I was ready to Trick or Treat again myself. I loved it, Happy Thursday xxoo
