Halloween Streets A haunted night of ghouls and beasts When vampires search for bloody feasts There are witches casting evil spells Stirring cauldrons spewing nasty smells Black cats howl out into the night At evil pumpkins glowing bright Skeletons hanging down from the trees Play eerie music on the breeze Banshees scream above the streets Where children dare to beg for treats Of candy apples and popcorn balls As ghosts fly out from haunted walls A mummy limps in moldy rags A detached leg behind him drags Zombies hearing unknown voice Walk in a daze without a choice Goblins hide in trunks of trees Undetected, grabbing kids with ease To steal their sacks of candy treats Then chase them back to haunted streets Werewolves awake in full moon light Rip up the towns throughout the night Bats with glowing red-gold eyes Drop down as vampires from the skies Children on the streets beware And travel on this night with care There are evil spirits that fill the air Who will steal your souls without a care Sherry Gail Heim October 31, 2009 Copyright © Sherry Gail Heim 2009

Ew, great poem for children to take heed of while their out trick-or-treating on Halloween night! There are so many vindictive people out there who don't mind doing a child harm! I love it! Thanks for sharing!

I am sorry I missed this one sis. This is really a good poem, and some of those evil spirits are not necessarily what you said here but are people who like to harm children. This is a cute poem with a very real message. Thank you for sharing it. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister, Barbie.

You caught the season perfectly.

Sherry, Your work always sings perfectly. Your visions are with clarity, each time. One only has to see you've written to know they are in for a wonderful treat. So while the kids enjoyed the candy treats of Halloween, us adults were in for a treat of our own when we visited your den. Thanks again. Lisa

Not me / Nope / They ain't gonna get me! / I'm hunkered down / Lights out / Answering no doorbells and loud and frightening knocks / I am not here . . . Whew! / Will this night never end?
