I LOOOOOOVE Halloween!

Missing image

The sun is finally going down
the moon dressed in her starry gown
the season’s here for children’s glee
tonight’s the night of Halloween.

Monsters dark and nasty ghouls
will fill the haunted night with boos
and candy apples tart and sweet
will fill our bags on Halloween.

I’ll dress myself as Spider-Man
then door to door and hand in hand
with little sister Sara Lee
I’ll beg for candy on Halloween.

I hope I do not see a ghost
I think they frighten me the most
the pumpkin’s carved he looks so mean
Sometimes it’s scary on Halloween.

Mother quick no time to waste
the witches brewed us treats to taste
my friends are dancing down the street...

MOM, Hurry up!

Come on!

It’s Halloween!

    Me too... just a big old kid. This is yet another one that truly captures the essence of Halloween. I love that each stanza ends with Halloween and I love that you emphasized the urgency for mom to hurry up by making the last part so huge
    Perfect rhyme, perfect flow and outstanding imagery. Loved it. Thanks for entering my conetst and good luck!

      Thanks, Gulf. I had so much fun writing it. It's nice to take a break from the more adult stuff and focus in on the gentle, innocence of horror and Halloween.
