Leaves are falling, in the crisp autumn air

Doorbells chime, dare you enter houses of scare?

The wind howls, trees bend and sway,

Ghastly gremlins coming out to play.

Ghouls, ghosts, and goblins haunt the streets

Pounding on doors, shouting “Trick-or-Treat!”

In a town where shadow creep,

The man of Grim coming out to reap

A horse-like man missing a head

Victim’s ripped clothes smeared crimson red

Pumpkins glow with fierce fiery eyes,

Casting light under darkening skies

Everyone gets tense before sprinting in fear

With no safe places anywhere near

Spine-chilling spirits, they roamed the night,

Matches heading toward the houses ‘til they ignite.

The childrens’ blood starts pumping as they run away

Not one of them saw another Halloween day.
