Halloween Night

Ghosts and Goblins, and Witches Brew
Dogs Howl, cats Scream…
Who goes there? ...unseen
Doors Bang, chains Clang…
And...Hoot Hooty Hoo...
What’s that? Where’s Jack?
Big EYES  watching You
Bump...Ditty...Bump...
As it Bangs out a tune
Ghosts and Goblins, and Witches Brew
Swoosh, swoosh…
Goes it... as it brushed by me
What’s that? Black Cat...
Or a Witch I see...
Ghosts, and Goblins, and Witches Brew
Who’s scared? I’m not… but
...Hooow about YOOO?
It’s Halloween Night...and
There’s a Full Moon!

    This was so cute and fun. The perfect write for litle tike around Halloween. I think this could be converted into a children's picture book. You know like the ones that have the pictures hiding behind flaps and stuff? I mean, how cute would it be to read
    "hat’s that? Where’s Jack?"
    and then move a flap to see a big grinning jackolantern with
    "Big EYES watching You" right below it.
    Very cute! Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest!

    wonderful Halloween chant... really creates the answer to why we children of all ages love Halloween.... Good sense of rhythm... sparking all those momentary thrills one feels when Trick or Treating... lovely stuff.

    well done Breeze, i like the imagery you've created with sounds. reminds me of the neighborhood haunted house you got to walk through and have the daylights scared out of you.

    “Ghosts and Goblins, and Witches Brooms” pretty much sounds like my house year round LOL Actually this is a very cute and well done Halloween piece. I really like the tone of it as you read it aloud. Well done.
