Lantern of the Shadowed Glade In shadowed glades where spirits dwell, Beneath the boughs of an ancient spell. A pumpkin awaits, its fate foretold, By tomes of old and tales untold. Carved with care by children’s hands, A toothy grin upon its face expands. Yet, within those haunting, hollowed eyes, Lies a deeper truth in dark disguise. On Halloween, beneath pewter beams, Wailing winds...

Black cats dart across my path As I head down the street Children hide and spook their friends And all around shout “Trick or treat!” It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween! Hear them scream! A scary dream! Witches gliding past the moon Riding fast upon their brooms The dead are rising from the grave Their restless souls rant and rave Pumpkins on the fence posts grin And...

In the shadows, faces flicker Some look merry, some look mean Moving quick and moving quicker Chills that creep along unseen Pumpkins grin and gape and snicker Through the night on Halloween....

Elves steal the witches’ jack-o-lantern with glee. The only one who saw them was William and me. The witch is noticing now, so they are in trouble. I hear her chanting in her cauldron, rubble double bubble. The elves thought they were sly, but they were not quick. The potion is boiling out of the cauldron so green and thick. Run...

I saw a jack-o-lantern totem in the field across the street. Three faces smiling at me. Their attitude could not be beat. The top one was the smallest, and gray which was odd. The bottom jack was black. She gave me a sassy nod. The middle jack-o-lantern looked like one I made one day. I watched these merry jacks, and...

She was living in a happy Jack-o-Lantern because it was fun. The ghosts in the night had left on a humungous five K run. The howling of the wind was dying down, sliding under the sun. Hello! I told the magic makers. I want my hotdog hot on a bun. There are no more buns, the faerie of the...
