Halloween poetry
Holidays can be fun to celebrate, especially
All Hallows Eve, which is Halloween Night
Lots of trick or treating, and candy
Looking around for people dressed in a variety of costumes
Outside the cool air cause goosebumps as if ghosts are lurking
When the people are encased in their homes
Everything becomes still and quiet
Evil spirits hoping to get a chance to walk among the living
No hope of being left alone
