^A Halloween Tale^

for children of all ages

 

Now all ye children, gather 'round
as I tell a tale of Halloween town
with ghost and goblins flying about
and monsters will get ya! if you don't watch out.
 
Jack 'O Lanterns wear a face of fright
as a haloed moon shines an eerie light
while black cats haunch and pounce to scare
and witches will get ya! if you're not aware.
 
Sounds that will make you freeze in your steps
Oh, be careful, beware, 'lest you forget
that Hallow's Eve, is slight of hand
and the spooks will get ya! if you don't understand.
 
Now all ye children, go out if you must
but be wary of whom you may trust
of all things untamed, heard or seen
and no one will get ya! this Halloween.

I love the rhyme and flow in this Halloween poem :) i see the fun in the giving and experiencing of the nervous fright and also some cautionary advice.. given just before they head out for the night

i Love the voice in this poem, thank you for sharing :)

Halloween is so much fun! Great write. So many great lines, but these touched me:
" Jack 'O Lanterns wear a face of fright

while black cats haunch and pounce to scare
and witches will get ya! if you're not aware."

I loved it. It really captures the pure essence of Halloween. Makes me remember that there is more to Halloween then just being a commercial holiday! Really great piece.
