Trick Or Treat

Snakes that crawl beneath your feet know the secrets of the earth Ready now for trick or treat slithering for what it’s worth In and out of devil’s prey they can find the deepest hole If you cross their path this day they will eat your very soul Wary, should you be this year As you creep this Halloween Masks won’t hide your primal fear you are surely to be seen Best to friend a witches’ broom fly away in dark of night Should you take a chance and stay chances are, you’ll die of fright Happy Halloween to everyone!!!

Snakes create such scare. As a child I had the fear of snakes embedded in me . Imagine snakes crawling under one's feet . Oh! So scary..... quite fit for the Halloween, dear Mike.

Such a stupendous write Mike - we don't really celebrate Halloween in South Africa, but I see that recently our S.A's - youngsters are following suit. It can be as scary as one makes it or as fun as you want it to be. But the mind boggles with what happened in Seoul with 150 people dying people who had come merely to enjoy Halloween. PS I enjoy your poetry Mike as you you make it fun, explainable and so terrifically excellent.Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
