Julie Luckham Poet Rhyme

Halloween Night

October 30, 2018

Well the shoppers are all out 
Already in costume wandering about
Buying up candy and chocolate bars
Trick or treating under the stars

What will the costumes be this year?
Make us laugh and bring some cheer
Some of the yards will be quite frightening
And some will be most enlightening

Shedding some light on Halloween
And what it truly means
Witches, ghouls, goblins, and pumpkins too
Hope they don't put a spell on you

Honoring the dead in such a way
Bidding good-byes to them today
Is what they say it truly means
To go and celebrate Halloween

To honor death is somewhat strange
Maybe even a little deranged
Why do people truly celebrate this night?
Some think it's wrong and some think it's right!

Have a nice evening my friend. nice to meet you. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I look forward to reading more poetry from you.

Chris Green October 30, 2018 at 4:53 PM Love your poem and the question it poses at the end. I know why they say we celebrate it but to me it was always just Halloween. Costumes and getting candy as a kid and handing out candy as a big kid. : ) Nicely done.
