Perched up high, upon a branch
In the forest, dark and scary
The owl waits for his next prey
Though his mistress, quite contrary

Walls that slant in faded light
Specter’s roam about the night
Shadows stand in open doors
Footsteps creak across the floors
Thinking this is just a dream
Things just aren’t what they seem
Figures lurk about your home
Now you see you’re not alone
Taunting you until you scream
Trick or treat, it’s Halloween!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! BE SAFE!

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!!

Look at the goodies, we grabbed up today
All from the neighbors, who live down our way
We just couldn’t wait, we weren’t that strong
We ate all the candy, although it was wrong
Slurping up chocolate, what a hideous sight!
Charlie kept burping, the rest of the night
Til we all made it home, alas, to our beds
But all of the sugar had gone to our heads
We couldn’t sleep, this wasn’t right
To be in our house on this Halloween night
So we all sneaked out, round the neighborhood
Hoping again, we would find something good
Writing Prompt: Slurps and Burps – Day 31/31 – Can you believe it! 31 days of writing prompts are over!! Thanks for all the fun, Michelle! Now, where are November’s writing prompts?

Perched up high, upon a branch
In the forest, dark and scary
The owl waits for his next prey
Though his mistress, quite contrary
She sits inside, in black of night
By the window, where she eyes
Creatures scurrying about the grass
And much to her surprise
One comes closer, just enough
So the door, she opens wide
Watches as it makes its way
Unsuspecting, now inside
The cauldron boils and bubbles
As the witch begins to chortle
“Trick or treat, my tasty one
It’s time for my nightly mortal”
