Happy Halloween!
“Whoo!” Whispers cold-warning October-winds
Hoot-owl
feathers dance, rustling leaves it sends
Large
white oval eyes perched on a skeleton bare branch
Spooky
yellow harvest-moon translucent alabaster-blanch
Pale
ghosts, wild goblins neighborhood streets invaded
“Trick or treat!” Sugar-sweets keep
urchin-kids satiated
Johnny
masquerades an ugly Frankenstein bloody freak-scene
Angelic-child
in broad daylight---he is not really all
that mean
Sweet
sassy Sally-Sue so feminine can actually sew and stitch
Black
pointed hat, wart on long-nose casts evil, wicked-witch
Behind
barred barriers cowers populace while praying “Faith!”
Intelligent
to fear the living rather than some poor ole spook wraith
“I
want to suck your blood!” Fanged
Count Dracula openly true-confesses
“We’re
used to it!” Counters citizens familiar with politicos’ transgresses
Dark
graveyard ghostlike sentinels white marble statue monuments
“Better
them than me! Dying to get in there!” Determined sentiments
Red! Yellow! Gold! ghoul-leaves
rustle like a rattler’s warning alarm
Play
chase and tag tumbling along caught in a turbulent wind-storm
Wee-ones
scurry house-to-house with open bags, beg charity
A
Headless Horseman gallops on Main Street just for hilarity
On
yon church steeple-high a wicked witch points at all she knew
“At
midnight you all will monsters be! Dare drink of my vile brew!”
“Tis
not the Christmas Eve, most horrid evil woman!” In unison, they plead
With
focused intent, “Candy-full by then we will all be snug-tight in bed!”
Drifting
clouds slowly obscured the illuminating-orb bright full moon
To
tempt chilly obfuscated myriad stinging raindrops descending soon
Racing
safely home with overburdened sweetness-bags shrewd children shout
“Happy Halloween! Young friends!” Dare! Enjoy it all before, alas: it’s Lights out!
Happy Halloween!
