Trick or Treat

Halloween is time to go scaring.
In costumes, you go about wearing;
then knock on some doors,
with yelps, hoots, and roars;
sweet candies reward for your daring!

If candies aren’t coming your way,
then you tell them that they’re going to pay!
It’s trick or a treat
once more, you entreat;
don’t make yourself one of our prey!

Halloween is coming soon again and I love this well-crafted and delightful limerick poem my dear poet friend. Everyone will love this poem even the children painting smiles on their faces. Maybe I will borrow your poem using your name in my class to read on our Halloween celebration if it's ok with you? Thanks a lot for sharing. Hugs

Hey Terry! such a fun take on Halloween! I love how you capture the playful spirit of the holiday with lines like, "If candies aren’t coming your way, then you tell them that they’re going to pay!" It perfectly balances mischief and joy. Great work! - Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
