Halloween Is Here by Claire!



Halloween is here
When ghosts and ghouls appear
Black cats and witches come out at night
And sail on broomsticks in full flight!

Light's Out! by cindy tevis




Gusting wind, and dark, dark skies
Cheshire smiles and glowing eyes
Creeping things are all around
Your deepest fears are what you've found
Inside your soul, you want to scream
But, it's Ok it's Halloween!

Stopping at each lighted porch
Holding dear your flashlight torch
Knock on the door, it'll be alright
You must enjoy this magic night
For soon the chimes will strike eight
Then you'll sadly meet your fate

It's down the street and home you go
With your mask and bag in tow
In bed, and ready to take a bite
Mother says "Turn out the light"
. . . "enough excitement for one night"

Sleepy Days by cindy tevis



The rustle of dry leaves under your feet

The distant smell of fire

How warmth feels when it's leaving the air

Our days are growing tired

Rally in the season

Enjoy it 'till the end

Capture the feeling

It's Halloween once again!

My Favorite Night by cindy tevis




Listen to the cauldron bubble

Hear the distant cackles

Witches flying overhead

Ghosts below in shackles

Little spooks and goblins conjuring up fright!

I'm so glad it's Halloween

It's my favorite night!

Orange Soldiers by cindy tevis




Ever grinning, shining bright

Lit within by candle light

from our porches they are seen

Orange soldiers of Halloween

Always watchful in the night

To guard us from an awful fright!

The Spooky House by cindy tevis




Walk up to a spooky house

Being quiet as a mouse

Feel the hair rise on your back

As you walk into the black

You run and try to open the door

But it won't open anymore

You try the window, but it's stuck tight

You know you won't survive the night

All you wanted was a treat

Your mortal fate is what you meet

If you make it through this fright

You'll stick with houses that have a light.

The Experience by cindy tevis




Walking down a dark street

Lit with candle flame

Knocking on a strange door

Being asked your name

Creatures roaming everywhere giving you a fright!

Oh it must be Halloween

The very best'est night.

Halloween Memories by cindy tevis




Memories of days gone by


Jack O Lanterns glowing


Trick or treaters everywhere


With pure excitement showing


Friends and family gather 'round


Party times then abound


These are things that we hold dear


Building memories year by year
