Halloween Nights - Halloween Night
Halloween Nights
The image of death
Complete with scythe and old robe
Walking towards you
Down harshly-lit pumpkin path
Through dreary cemetery
Old leaves decaying
Crackling sound scare passersby
Darkness of the night
Keeps everyone on the edge
Ghosts play, riling each other
Terror impedes growth
Of poor small children passing
The haunted mansion
With all bats flying around
Screams of unwary people
Dances of creatures
And skeletons scaring all
Who dare to walk by
All of these pieces of hell
Happen on Halloween nights
