HAPPY HALLOWEEN
It`s late and we are sleepy,
The air is cold and still.
Our jack-o-lantern grins at us
Upon the window sill.
We`re stuffed with cake and candy
And we`ve had a lot of fun,
But now it`s time to go to bed
And dream of all we`ve done.
We`ll dream of ghosts and goblins
And of witches that we`ve seen,
And we`ll dream of trick-or-treating
On this happy Halloween.

GHOST BUS
Underneath the lamp post,
In the middle of the night,
A ghost bus make a silent stop,
A strange and fearful sight.
At the bus top at your corner,
Something big and green climbed down.
It’s looking for your bedroom,
And it has searched all over town.
You thought it couldn’t find you,
That you were safe and you were sound.
You thought that you could hide,
Where you never could be found.
But now it’s almost here,
You know it loves the dark of night.
There’s only one thing you can do,
Quick! Turn on the light!
Whew!

Party
We're having a Halloween party at school.
I'm dressed up like
Dracula. Man, I look cool!
I dyed my hair black and I cut off my
bangs.
I'm wearing a cape and some fake plastic fangs.
I put on some
makeup to paint my face white
like creatures that only come out in the
night.
My fingernails, too, are all pointed and red.
There's no doubt I
look like the evil undead.
My mom drops me off and I run into
school
and suddenly feel like the world's biggest fool.
The other kids
stare like I'm some kind of freak.
The Halloween party is not till next
week.

Halloween Poem
Out of all the poems I have written, this is my favorite one. I wrote this about Halloween because I adore Halloween ...
Halloween Night
The corpse that walks,
its solemn line.
The vampire stalks,
finds blood to dine.
The werewolf howls
at the silver moon.
His human form
what's showing at noon.
The mummy's cries
of pain and loss.
His wraps that smell of must and moss.
The witch that flies,
upon her broom
casting curses
and spelling doom.
The black cat scurries,
hisses and claws
through the graveyard walks his paws.

"A Trick of a Treat"
Dressed up little creatures
on a dark October night
run from door to door
giving everyone a fright.
They come and ring your doorbell
and before they will retreat,
they beg you for some candy
by yelling "trick or treat".
When their bags are full,
they run home to eat their fill.
They taste a bit of everything
and by morning they are ill!
So to keep the youngsters healthy,
I've figured out a deal.
This year instead of candy,
I'll give them all oatmeal!
