Halloween is Coming ©
Halloween is coming,
it's coming very soon.
With witches on their broomsticks
zooming past the moon.
Fairys dancing in a ring
skipping round the trees.
Elves are up to mischief,
throwing all the leaves.
Ghouls and ghosts and evil things
flying all about.
Scaring people is their goal
and love to hear them shout.
Pixies, bats and spiders,
all about the place.
Creepy crawlies and scary things,
even a pumpkin face.
You better not stay out too late
and never be alone,
as all the witches, ghouls and ghosts
would catch you on your own.
So go on home before it's late,
and go to bed and dream,
'cause in the morning when you wake,
the scary things won't scream
* Wrote this last halloween for children *
(I hope it makes you smile)

My youngest is 12 this Halloween & I'm hoping that she'll go trick-or-treating with us and not other kids for just one more year. LOVE this piece!

Man, I wish we had Halloween over here in Australia, though I think that if we did nobody would participate anyway. The most they'd probably do is use it as an excuse to go and get drunk...Not that they've ever needed one before.
Good poem though.
The only problem I have with it is the "zooming past the moon" part in the first stanza. I guess because of the fact that a lot of the words in the stanza seem to start with that same type of "s" sound, coupled with the "broomstick" reference.
It probably sounds better as "riding" rather than "zooming", but that could be because we've always been told they ride broomsticks rather than zoom on them. |

| I always smile at Halloween. I'll be sure to read this when the time comes to smile more. |

Yes, your poem did make me smile as well. Have you tried reading it to some to see what they're reaction is?
It has just enough "scary" references to keep their attention, but not so much they won't sleep at night :-) |
