Trick Or Treat

Hallowed specters fill the air; goblins and ghoulies have no cares. Hidden in the darkest night; creatures scramble with delight. Glowing eyes and mournful howls; leave behind the hootie owls. Specters swirling with delight; flit too and fro beneath street lights. The haul they take upon this eve; confections that are sure to please. If you should fail to bring delight; you will be tricked upon this night. No exemptions will be given; lest you’ve rolled a lucky 7. The game of Halloween has rules; watch and beware those nasty ghouls. Your generosity sets you free; evil creatures, you won’t see. Just children in their costumes bright; Neath the glowing moon’s bright light. Upon this night, you must make haste; there is no moment you can waste. Don’t forget the Jack-o-lantern; it frightens nearly every phantom.

ML, Outstanding Halloween Poem here. I think this one harkens us all back to our days as kids when it was much fun to celebrate Halloween and wear costumes and, of course, to get the candy!! The flow and interplay of you words certainly help to foster those wonderful Kid-like images from the past. This one's a "7" for me and it is a FAV too. Cheers, Gary
