Halloween Night

Listen to poem:

Day after day kiddies of all ages count As eagerness and excitement mount Trick or treating planned for weeks For little enthusiastic rosy cheeks Finally the last day of October Whether goblin, princess, witch or joker Every child dressing in costume Loot bags needing elbow room Foot traffic builds as streets get dark Knocking on doors wide-eyed with spark Holding bag spread open for treats and candies Eerie sounds from nooks and crannies Giant spiders and ghosts hung low from trees Make sure all kids run in packs raising their knees Open coffins creaking and working up a fright Rushing home well before the stroke of midnight Read on air by invitation ~ October 30, 2020 'LATE NIGHT POETS' Submitted on October 24, 2018 for contest HALLOWEEN NIGHT sponsored by TANIA KITCHIN

"Open coffins creaking and working up a fright" - yes, you have made it abundantly clear what night we are speaking of. Good luck in the contest, my friend.
