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
