Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Halloween Horror of the Worst Kind

Ghosts, ghouls, goblins gravitate in groups, galore.
Mummies, movie stars, mysteries, magazines and more.
Super heroes, Snoopy, serendipitously stealthy.
Halloween happy, heart-felt humorously healthy.
 
Witches, warlocks, wonderful wizards, wistfully weaving,
Amongst the other costumed children, some parents heaving
From eating too much candy, on their way to the next house
Only one dressed in cheese head, holding a fluffy stuffed mouse.
 
Trick-or-treat night, a time we used to all have a good time.
Children are now trotted to neighborhoods outside their lines.
Taken to stranger’s houses, dumped off at each door to ring,
Adults in insane moods, staring at phones, rather than their offspring.
 
So if a child disappears on Halloween night,
We can blame technology,
Is that not right?

Ilene Bauer October 31, 2018 at 4:58 PM your title says it all, caren! well said! Caren Krutsinger November 1, 2018 at 1:01 AM To me this would be the worst horror of all.

Rhona Mcferran October 31, 2018 at 8:07 AM This is perhaps the scariest of Halloween poems... because I can actually see this happening. Caren Krutsinger October 31, 2018 at 9:22 AM I can picture it too, and the parent saying "I only took my eye off my child for a minute," when it was actually 30 minutes or more.
