Halloween Fun

Walking through the churchyard, eerie midnight, 
Totally overcast sky, didn't want any spooky fright!
Always considered myself tough and brave
Why getting a shiver looking at the graves? 

Why is mysterious moon shining so bright? 
Are those ghosts and goblins…wandering in sight? 
Hear werewolves howling, and gnashing teeth,
I want to run away, I hardly can breathe! 

Never knew there was a castle on top of that hill, 
Does Dracula live there, getting a shuddering chill! 
I want to scream, someone's freezing hand touched my back, 
Oh no, no, please let me go, around me all pitch-black! 

Ha ha ha! Who laughs like that in a menacing voice? 
Is that my friend, Rob…who made me run leaving no choice! 
"Boo" he shouted with a piercing cry, and uncanny grin!
"It's Halloween Night …the real fun is gonna begin"!

Thanks, Jan. I used to enjoy Halloween when I taught at school, now I enjoy when my two grandsons dress up. But I am not that great in writing spooky poems! My best to you, Jan. Happy Halloween!
