Candy Corn - A Halloween Poem

Tammy Jones
The streets are dressed in black and Orange,

and a cackles in the air:

between this world and the next

This nighttime thins the Vail.

Are you ghost, goblin, witch

a child in disguise?

all dressed up, now, which is which?

it horrifies the wise!

Do you fright at curse and spell,

or witches on their brooms?

that take flight in darkened skies,

silhouetting on the moon?

Say your line now, "trick or treat!"

here's something from my bowl.

Happy Halloween! to you

witch, gargoyle, ghost and ghoul!

There is nothing more fulfilling to me than writing. Whatever the purpose, whatever the intent, whatever the emotion, they are all sacred to me. Enjoy reading what I write, I enjoyed writing it!  View profile
