Halloween Night

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2015 with permission of the Author.

When days grow short and nights get cold
And autumn trees turn red and gold,
Move, we may, through sun drenched days

Toward darkness, shivers, and things not pure,
While ghostly shadows creep slowly by,
Spying on witches and brooms that fly.

And do bad things 'til night turns to day.

Find covers and blankets and sheets to hide.

Slowly this night will fade to day
And fiends and monsters will crawl away.
Once a year, on this dank night,
We'll shake and shiver 'til morning light.
