The Celtics called it "Samhain",
The day the Dead are seen.
The phases change their faces,
Like the moon on Halloween.
10/9/15
In the shifting air
the sweet scent of candy corn
candle wax burning
All doors are open
an ancient mystery lives
I bask in its glow
It is All Hallows Eve
The night of all souls
Samhain Day
When the wiccans wail
At the witching hour
When the Demons walk
Souls will be taken
In the black of night
Form:
Samhain
ancient Celtic festival
marks end of summer
beginning of winter
Celtics believe spirit of dead walk the earth during Samhain
Celebrates them with costumes, bonfires and dancing
The beginning of Halloween
Wicked cold wimp weaving
Wrinkled woes on Samhain
Warlock of witchery
Waving threefold fiction
Whilst hanging on chaos
Wretched and worthless from
Worn out dry iced love spells
Let the monsters out
on this sacred evening
Let us make love
to our Demons
at the midnight bliss
This is our time
This is our circle
May the Witches be blessed
May the word be
clear and known
Rise, my sisters!
It's all hallows EVE!
Flame throwing flower held by a scream,
Maniacal laughter, dark fantasy;
Blood on the face of a clown
fresh smile an imprint of a frown;
Nothing is at all what it seems;
Trick me, treat me
by all means, creep me;
Blessed Be, Blessed Samhain.
Roads covered by dark night,
Thou there is plenty of orange light.
Samhain has arrived,
Remplir your bags to strived.
Headstone on the left,
Don’t worry, toffees won’t be theft.
Trick or treat on the right,
Once he was The Knight!

At the graveyard, eerie souls bear flight
With their ominous, ghoul banshee might
Human Skulls arose
Clad in zombie clothes,
A bloodcurdling sight on Samhain night.
On Halloween this very day,
We all dress up to scare away.
All the ghosts and evil to
So don't do things, these people do.
So give them sweets to go away
On the festival of,samhain day.
For just two nights of pagan rites,
To keep the ghosts at bay,
We dress up and put on our masks
To keep the devil away.
Left then right into a corn maze
as the Sun flickers on October;
Laughter transforms to screaming
as we spot a scarecrow,
a pipe smoking but it’s not lit;
‘Trick me, treat me.’ he says
‘By all means creep me.
Welcome, this field is not as it seems.
Flashlights on or the spirits will see.
Blessed Be, Blessed Samhain’.
Listen to poem:
Thinner the veil,
Older the year.
Between the worlds
Shadows appear,
Straddling the times.
We feel the past
Stamped on our brows.
Nothing will last.
Fields are now bare,
Soon comes the cold.
Kindle the flame
That we may hold
Space for a while,
Honor the dead,
Thank for the harvest,
Offer the bread.

Draw back the curtains at your wake
To welcome in October
And heartily libation take
Lest the old crows find you sober
Invite your fond familiars in
Each cat and rat and magpie
Ignite your jack-o’-lantern grin
And kiss the moon at midnight
Fling far and wide your festive gold
Let no leaf go unvarnished
Stoke hearth and heart against the cold
Lest silver linings tarnish.
Soon be time for Halloween,
So wear your mask to make them scream.
Pumpkin pie and pumpkin juice,
Trick and treaters on the loose.
Carve your pumpkin big and bright,
To scare away the ghosts tonight.
Be prepared on all saints Eve,
Lock your doors before you leave.
If you scare the ghosts away,
You can celebrate samhain day.
But if you fail your task ahead,
Say your prayers before you go to bed.

Samhain
Fires in the night
Robes dancing beneath moonlight
Flowers burning from Pixies breath
Running faster away from death
Leave a plate for those deceased
To munch upon as a treat
Returning soon from their end
Dont let them steal your last breath
Good and bad spirits trail in the night
Send your offerings to those up high
Laughter and cider warming your chest
And in the woods so does your consorts breath
Protection and a new years feast
Let the feilds grow and the dead sleep in peace
