The words in this poem kept whirling in my head last night and all through the day this morning. This afternoon they all fell into place, just in time for Halloween tonight!
Halloween
It’s a dark, scary night
Halloween is tonight –
All the ghoulies are out
All the ghosties about…
With a crick and a crack
And a tap on my back
I’m trembling and shaking,
Fearing, a-quaking.
It’s a night of the fey
Take care not to stray,
All the witches do sport
All the fiends cavort.
With a quick step I tread
With a bat at my head:
It’s shrieking and squeaking
Victims is seeking.
It’s a dark, stormy night
Of the hag and the sprite –
All the zombies parade,
All the children afraid.
With a shudder and shake
Until dawn wide awake,
I’m quietly abiding
In the dark, hiding.
It’s the night full of screams
And of horrible dreams –
All the spectres take flight
All the banshees delight.
With a sob and a sigh
With a throb and a cry,
I’m shuddering, shivering
Queasily quivering
It’s Halloween!
Happy Halloween, to everyone! Enjoy your evening!
I love this!!! Happy Halloween Nick. :)
