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!

People get one day off each week to have fun, but spirits only get ONE NIGHT each YEAR, so let them enjoy it! Are you sure you never wanted to be a ghost and go haunting? Good write; keep it up! Aloha! Rico

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.
