Ghouls and goblins are such a fright Wicked witches on brooms take flight So, if you want free candy Best keep a weapon handy When Trick-or-Treating Thursday night ~ Lin Lane Bob for apples if you double dare There’s bats, snakes, and gators in there With chocolate for mud And candy for blood The haunting may take out your hair ~ Karen Jones Inhumanity on a roll The scariest mask takes a toll The treat is a trick Its sweets make one sick. The monster machine will steal soul ~ Kim Rodrigues I took my grandkids out for trick or treat People were kind with money or a sweet Then someone gave a loud shout Michael Myers was about We ran like bats out of hell down the street... ~ Tom Cunningham Halloween night is quite spooky for sure, When someone knocks so loudly on my door, There's no one in sight, I turn out the light, Then I hear ghostly figures scream and roar. ~ John Read Never take a trick or treat from a ghost Even if they are very kindly spoke If you ask for a treat You may get poisoned sweets I once got a frog shoved right down my throat. The frog jumped inside me all the night long It croaked and mom thought i was singing songs Until the frog leaped out Into her open mouth Then she knew that she'd got things very wrong ~ Beryl Edmonds On Thursday it is Halloween When witches and monster are seen So, make sure you've candy Keep LOTS of it handy Or someone may cause a big scene ~ Jan Allison The floorboards all groan and windows creak Outside more than dark but less than bleak Door rattles in its frame Not quite my type of game The devil's own brand of hide and seek ~ Dilly Dally The coffin is full of some tasty treats That the skeleton can't get round to eat He who'd dare dip in Surely could not win Having to meet ghastly ghosts in white sheets. ~ Beryl Edmonds The children are dressed in their scary costumes. Excited and thrilled they are scared, there's a full Moon. The first house that they arrive to. They hear a Loud Howl and they're spooked! They run for their Lives, on this cold afternoon! ~ Michael Tor This morning, I had such an awful fright. I swear it was the most hideous sight. Those treats made me say "ick". I'm afraid I got sick in the mirror as I turned on the light. ~ David Crandall

Yes the kids will be out and this sets the mood for everyone to enjoy Lin. Rhyming perfect, with a frightening theme. I know my wife and I will be busy answering the door. My dog Tavi will be barking for a while, lol. I love seeing the children in their costumes they are so cute, and the parents too. We live at the end of the street it is darker where we are. Lin have fun on Halloween and enjoy the children and their parents. Thank you for sharing and hug to keep you from being scared.

It's a holiday I really don't participate in, Michael, but thanks for your kind thoughts. I'm trying to have a bit of fun that other poets can take part in as a community. Maybe you'll send me a limerick.
