Halloween Faces

Witches and goblins are out tonight with pumpkin smiles and eerie screams. The cold moon radiates its bright light to cast shadows of childhood dreams. Flying bats target black cats hiding from the witch’s broom. In dark streets cats chase big rats scampering near Dracula’s tomb. Graveyards harbor the scary ghost lurking among the stones and trees. Old run-down houses they like to host with moans and groans to tease. Werewolves lurk in darkest of night dwelling in the denseness of wood. Hoping to find someone to bite and to eliminate the good. A cold wind blows the fallen leaves swirling them in the yard. A child is one who believes skeletons on the porch stand guard. Copyright © 2006 by Caryl S. Muzzey
