All Hallow’s Eve
Where we play tricks
When there are no treats.
Dressed as demons, monsters,
Or even a witch
Parading around the streets of this
Full moon night.
The screams and giggles
Of children fill the
Frosty night air.
Bringing a chill to the bones.
Candy drops into bags.
Chocolate, gummies, sweets galore!
As you move from house to house,
Kicking leaves, throwing pumpkins
What night is better than this?
Closer to midnight you hit the last house,
The crooked one on the corner
Steeping with fright.
Your friends dare you,
One creaking step at a time.
The doorbell is an eyeball,
Oozing with puss.
You poke it and hope for no
Infection.
A cackling starts,
A hiss, a growl.
Your heart yells but
Your brain keeps you there.
You hear the bushes crinkle
As your betrayers dive for cover.
Popping and screeching,
The door opens
Out jumps a black blob
Smacking you to the ground
Through your screaming you see it
That horrifying monster
The claws, the fangs
Oh wait…
That’s a cat.
Purring on your chest,
Cleaning its’ paw.
I’m sorry, deary.
He just loves the company!
How about a king-size candy bar
For your fright?
The old woman dressed as a
Friendly witch helps you up.
You receive the prize, walking
Back to the cowards, you show
Off your trophy.
This will be a night to remember.
