Goblins on the doorstep,
Phantoms in the air,
Owls on witches' gateposts,
giving stare for stare,
Cats on flying broomsticks,
Bats against the moon,
Stirrings round of fate-cakes,
With a solemn spoon,
Whirling apple parings,
Figures draped in sheets,
Dodging, disappearing,
Up and down the streets,
Jack-o'-lanterns grinning,
Shadows on a screen,
Shrieks and starts and laughter..
This is Halloween!
~Dorothy Brown Thompson~
H aving fun,
A llowed to be someone else,
L oving to scare people,
L aughing out loud,
O pening candy wrappers,
W earing your costume,
E ating lots of candy,
E nding the day with a frown, :(
N ext year the fun will come again!
