My heart regrets two approaching days
have they been celebrated for always?
how many years has this celebration been
i don't know how it started; do you know when?
it's better on Halloween and it's eve to stay inside
lock your doors; maybe even do your best to hide
there's nothing outside awaiting you
but, demons, brimstone and witches, too
i warn you, friend, if you value your life
stay inside with your children and wife
don't underestimate the horrible plights
happening on these devastating nights:

Wow sounds scary; like you'd want to shut all the curtains so you can't look out into the dark in case you see someone out ther; that kind of scary!
Great job; best wishes in the contest
