Halloween poem III

Leaves crunch and crackle
Beneath my frightened feet
As I run harder, faster
To the rhythm of my racing heartbeat.
Running from the headless horseman,
Something flies through the air. . . .
A pumpkin at my feet. . .
My horse was scared and ran away,
And now I stand alone
To face a certain death

Or an uncertain life. . .
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. . . . . .

Halloween poem II

I see the stars on a moonless night
I taste the crispness of fall
I hear the voices of children
Yelling "Trick-or-treat!"
A bonfire smokes the air, lending its scent.
Marshmallows --
Icky, sticky, gooey, toasted delight. . . .
A scream pierces the air
In the dark on Halloween night

Halloween poem I

I see a jack o'lantern
I hear the wailing wind
I smell the smells of autumn
As cold air brushes my skin
When I eat a caramel apple --
I taste Halloween!
