It's Halloween!

Black cats dart across my path As I head down the street Children hide and spook their friends And all around shout “Trick or treat!” It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween! Hear them scream! A scary dream! Witches gliding past the moon Riding fast upon their brooms The dead are rising from the grave Their restless souls rant and rave Pumpkins on the fence posts grin And on the porches frown It seems tonight like everything Has been turned upside down It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween! Hear them scream! A scary dream! Some children squeal with delight While others shriek with fright What a night! In these darkest hours, evil deeds are done Smashing pumpkins, egging houses Some kids think it’s fun Oh, what a night! It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween! Hear them scream! A scary dream! Draped in orange, white, and black Children fill their candy sacks Door to door More and more Little ghosts in sheets Wander down the street At each house they collect sweets Every time they yell “Trick or treat!” Bats fluttering through the air Werewolves roaming everywhere Creepy, crawling spiders Pumpkin pie and apple cider It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween! Hear them scream! A scary dream!

Thank you. It was actually the first Halloween poem I ever wrote, way back in the nineties when I was a teen.
