Scary Creatures

Pumpkins orange glowing bright
shine into the darkest night
ghouls and ghosts and all things scary
small werewolves with fingers hairy
Descend upon us once a year
on the eve renown for fear
Be ready quick to pay the ghost
or you'll soon end up as toast
Little taps upon your door
demanding treats or tricks for sure
hurry satisfy their need
replenish them their chocolate feed
Then retire and wait for more
little taps upon your door
remember not to run out quick
as eggs upon your window stick
though floured covered paths and cars
appease the creatures with blood stain scars
So be warned the time is near
these creatures won't respect your fear
here now at your door
from nought to teen
stock up your treats
as 'Arrrrrgh it's Halloween!!'

Poet Destroyer A October 18, 2016 at 9:33 PM Wendy Wass, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you.
