HALLOWS' EVE (Response to Halloween Challenge)

HALLOWS’ EVE

A Cold black night with a full moon
A howl on the wind sings an eerie tune
It is Hallows' Eve and the creatures are roaming
There are eyes everywhere – can see them glowing

As the night goes on anyone can see
Them roaming all around – different looking beings
There are zombies, witches, goblins and ghosts
It is hard to count which has the most

Whines – screams – growls – howls
The Devil and his demons are on the prowl
They are wandering the streets and roads outside
Knocking on doors demanding to come inside

Fear is rampant as they become hungry
If you don’t feed them – things could get ugly
Not daring to turn on or off the light
Knowing they’ll keep coming all night

There’s a knock on the door – oh no!
Will it be a friend or foe?
Opening the door carefully to see
A little voice pipes up “Trick or Treat”!

Thank you ROS - I had fun writing it - not exactly what I started thinking I would do - it just kind of took on a mind of it's own.

For you Cafe Jim. You always loved the holidays and this is a fun one. Halloween is actually Hallow's Eve or Holy Eve is it precedes Holy Day "All Saints' Day".
