Notes About The Poem
Acrylic By Eve Roper
Little Miss Witch On Halloween
When the darkness opened wide,
Little Miss Witch twitched her nose.
She bewitched a dress in a mundane stitch;
Halloween clothes from head to toe for trick or treat.
She walked down the street
To meet with the other sweet sounds of laughter.
Skittles, candy corn, and M&Ms
poured out of the sides of the rainbow
bedecked and merry.
One, two, three.
Poof!
Three kitties on their feet
Jumped on the roof.
Pitch black spike hats, gowns, and boots
They were holding brooms.
Two bad witches and a black goofy itchy cat hid.
Blood shot eyes blinked,
Turned in a bowl dark and grim.
Gooey cobwebs spiders climbed,
Skeletons danced with the fright beat,
Pumpkins ate their seeds and rich meat,
Growled satisfied.
“Taste my sweets, your sweet treats”,
The wind tides had said.
Raven cawed, a conceited warlock in town.
Owls hooted and werewolves howled,
Red luminous eyes glared in the night.
Blood poured out of the trees through the countryside.
A mouse hole,
Three cats went inside,
Three brooms disappeared.
Little Miss Witch and two best friends switched;
Mundane they were no longer.
Boo!
A blood-moon in a candy starless night,
Shadows danced;
Leaves crunched beneath skeletal tress
Before the moon was swallowed up by the sun.
Happy Halloween!
