Tricky Treats

Peeking out the window

On all Hallow's Eve

Watching little Globlins

Skip about with glee.

Witch's and warlocks
traveling the streets
Looking so scary
Asking for treats.

Dinos and gators
fairies and elves,
scurry about
frightening themselves.

The sun grows dim,
the porchlight shines,
the ghouls and monsters
scowl just fine.

Creatures a-plenty
Come out to play
Once each year
for All Hallow's Day.

[M.E.Lyle]

You can almost feel the season by the way you described it. I love Holloween.

[Samuel Dickens]

A really fine, excellently-constructed Halloween poem, Judy. My house seems to be a magnet for the little scary ones, and I delight in giving them candy, even if it does sometimes cost me as much as 75 dollars. Creatures-a-plenty, yes indeed.

[The Analog Kid]

This was fun to read and uplifting thinking about the kiddos having a good time:)

[J Todd Underhill]

A great holiday write here, brough to mind the halloweens I spent in Montana we didn't yet have children but I enjoyed watching the young ones trick or treating.
