bags fill up with candy

claws from nowhere pierced me---
thirst for flesh unquenched

Stardust lay o'ver demon who had lost a gleeman
Shadowy as nightfall, haunted like vile downfall
A pebble dropped into a pool
Reveals ripples poets find cool
But when I look
Into a brook
It reveals an Halloween ghoul
Disembodied hands
Creeping up the alley way
Deadly spiders too
Poison snakes and scorpions
Crawling 'round on Halloween

Jack-o’ lanterns flee~
down pumpkin-stained gravel roads
panicked exodus
Fearing ghosts is not foolish if they are ghoulish
for evil specters might haunt you Halloween night

rushed in a flurry
and pot of curry

Halloween night, there are only candy 'cans' -- no can'ts

stain unlocked doors with blood---red,
zombies come alive!

BEHIND THE MASK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a crumpled skymap
lost broomstick? No, misplaced spells~
Halloween mishap
Poor Jack ran a futile race
couldn’t keep up the heated pace
lost the battle
someone’s chattel
now he has a Halloween face
water dripping from the eaves
promise in the whispering leaves
cold lights dancing in the night
spirits cast in ghastly light

Had a very busy day and night so here's just a short lanterne for ya!
Ghosts
Goblins
Scary night
Surrounded by
Spooks!
Mice…
just mice,
they said when,
the noise began.
Mice don’t move things
like, tea pots!
Leaving…
bye!
oak leaves
already covering the yard
lonely Halloween night
firecrackers break the stillness
faint trails of fireworks linger
