Halloween Night
Wake up children of the haunting night
gear up for bewildered scavengers in fright
slip in and out the darkened figures
ugly masks and skeletal bones in rigor,
step lively and step quick
or you'll be the next image tricked.
Oh, to be a kid again
with traits and hints of Houdini, Teller and Penn
dressing up in lieu of magic spells
when demons and witches rise from the deepening well,
hidden in the shadows creeping
moonlight wakes from its sleeping,
and moving there barely seen
pace all the scary creatures of Halloween;
