They make a right on Dreary Lane.
And then turn left at Ghoul, remain
On that road all through the night;
As moonbeams guide them to the sight
In the forest, black as pitch,
Where a two track called “The Witch”
Will bring them to a haunted home
Where goblins dance and mummy’s roam
With skeletons way out in the field
And caldrons steep and vapors yield
Magic spells and eerie charms.
The sign there reads “Halloween Farms.”
Tombstones have been polished right
And ghosts are dressed in sparkling white.
Cats arch their backs and spiders spin
Webs that lure and fold them in.
They get there early, at half past five;
The ones who are still alive,
But if they die before that day,
They’ll go to the party anyway.

You are the Halloween Spirit.  This sounds just like the farm that has sprouted up for Halloween in the nearby woods.  First time that I knew I had so many ghoulish neighbors.  Good poem.  Love, Joyce

Marge and Joyce,
Halloween is my thing. I keep my Halloween decorations up all year round in my family room.  I'm glad you guys read my silly poems. My daughter complains, but she likes my hair so win some lose some.
love, Barb

Hi Barb:

We are sprouting Halloween decorations all over the house. Not much outside yet, but tomorrow will take care of that. We have a four foot high, plastic model of ET that Will (my husband)puts flashing lights inside of and sets him by our driveway. He is pretty eerie and the kids all love him!
I think he is the most popular thing we put out.  

I really enjoyed your poem and you do a great job on them.

Love
Betty Lou
