Trick Or Treat? (Shape Poetry)

.                                                               


                                                                ()
                                                                ()
                                                i could have been a pie
                                            but you turned me into a face
                                          with jagged teeth and evil eyes
                                        that makes /\  the  /\ children cry
                                        they scream     /\  as  they run by 
                                        afraid they might look in my eyes       
                                         and see the  devil  there and die
                                         but I'm just /\/\/\/\ a pumpkin
                                               in a Halloween disguise
