All Hallows eve, the night closes in

Fantastical beasts return on a whim

Waiting and watching, the chill, we suspected

But shadows grow longer, and quite unexpected

The moon shines a glow, but it’s still not enough

To keep them from coming, though we try to rebuff

Witches and warlocks fly through the air

Skeletons rattle about without care

The living dead walk aimlessly in the dark

Ghosts and ghouls gather round in the park

All watching the clock, for the midnight hour

Impatiently waiting for what they will devour

Spectacular trees

Decorate, as the sun shines

Lighting the forest

Crispy Cakes and Stomach Aches ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

They came in all flavors

So what’s a frog to do?

Butterscotch, chocolate

And plain vanilla, too!

I could try only one

But that wouldn’t be fair

To leave the other two

In the tin, sitting there

So I’ll eat all the crispies

Whatever it takes

And probably wind up with

A wicked stomach ache

Pretty marigolds

Snuggled within the pumpkins

Dream of Halloween

The Twisted Plot ~ #OctoberWriting #Halloween #poetry

Tags

, , , , , , , , , ,


Maniacal beings appear on the spot

Of graves from the others, a most twisted plot

They rise from the underworld, ready to strike

Frightening humans, yes, those they dislike

Rattling bones, they create such a clatter

Run if you must, it won’t really matter

For thieves of the underground

Will search, until you are found

They’re coming to get you, ready or not!
