All Hallows Eve

Well it's almost that time of year, and my favorite holiday!!

From the Druids came forth All Hallows Eve,
Children run around with masks to deceive.
One night a year you can play another,
So many escorted by their mother.
Jack-o-lantern faces alight the way,
and haunted houses simulate foul play.
Demons, and faeries and mad ghoulish things,
Those of good run around with shiny wings.
Pitch forks, and tails and tiny pointed teeth,
Princesses, and knights who carry a sheath.
The roads are filled with laughter and delight,
teens pulling pranks giving old folks a fright.
If you so desire a tasty sweet,
then all you have to say is Trick-or-Treat!

Author's Note

Maybe one of the few first lines may have to be reworked, but I think it's ok for sudden inspiration.

wow, can't even believe the way your brought this together,
the ending catches the reader really off guard- so perfect, and the imagery
was lush, vibrant and so fun to take in, because it captures the spirit of halloween as in the glee. anticipated, frightfully enjoyable
experience of it all, and entwines a bit of history which in all subtlety
gives this poem even more dimension, the best halloween poem
i have read so far
