I heard them shout, “It’s Halloween!”

As children scurried, about the scene

Clad in costumes, their faces painted

I’m sure we’ve never been acquainted

But still they come, and ring the bell

Trick or Treat, I hear them yell

Such silly little things, are they

Who walk about and head my way

I’ll greet them with a kindly smile

And watch them grab my candy pile

Then suddenly, they’ll take off running

They think they’re sly and ever cunning

But I got them good, just wait and see

I’ve made this for them, especially

A potion, of which is quite austere

Something to make it perfectly clear

Halloween is a night for ghouls

Witches, goblins, black cats, and fools

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

He gathered them together
Every goblin, ghoul and beast
To celebrate this day with him
At the annual Frankenstein feast

Wolfman came in full attire
Alice brought a rabbit in a hat
Jack O’Lantern brought the pie
And grandpa turned up as a bat

Of course, Frank had celebrities
Most had their faces masked
He even had some other folks
Though they were never asked

But Frankie didn’t care, no sir
Everyone was welcome to crash
Clowns, kids, even Chaplin did
It was the greatest monster bash!

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

Climb aboard, it’s very late

The bus arrives for you

Ghouls are here, to guide your way

And a ghostly quartet, too

Enjoy the ride, it’s cozy inside

Nothing to fear, nor frighten

Zombies make your trip quite nice

While goblins surely delight in

Watching you squirm about your seat

They say the trip is almost done

But the bus keeps going, no end in sight

Boo! This is what they call fun!

Ghoulish creature in full moon light

Eerily stalking you, in ebony night

No longer hidden, the Hunter’s Moon glows

Lighting the way, with terror, he shows

A hideous face, with a sickle in hand

His quest for you, most carefully planned

Watching and waiting, he stares in the dark

Empty eyes gazing, he’s leaving his mark

Quivering soul, he’s gotten into your head

Wearing you down, no escape from the dead

 

This was a shot I took from my driveway, as the Hunter’s Moon was rising.  The leaves created quite the scene, and I of course, ran with it.  I have another shot, with a totally different scene, which I will share closer to Halloween  🙂
