HALLOWEEN NIGHT
Kathleen Clark
Hey, there, Halloween eyes
master of disguise
lurking around in the dark
giving my heart a jump-start!
Darkness unfurls like Dracula’s cape
swirling around the mustard moon
soon…very soon…
the living dead will escape…
Gliding across misty fields, lurking down inky alleys
little ghouls and goblins
slink on cat feet, ring doorbells on pumpkin-lit porches
then RUN SCREAMING…
It’s a devilishly scary night
so slip inside and revel in the fright
of cobwebbed corners, flickering lights
blood-curdling screams!!!
Shiver with delight as you sit
cross-legged with flashlight
reading ghostly, sanguine tales
of horror and doom.
