Witches and goblins
All around
Cram the streets
Of my small town

Some look evil
Others scary
Many have warts
Some all hairy

There's werewolves, warlocks
and pumpkins galore
Knock, knock knocking
At my front door

I'll sooth the souls
of all these beasts
With sugar candy
and yummy treats

They fill their baskets
To the brim
Soon angry faces
turn to grins

Halloweens the time
of year
When kids dress up
in scary gear

They then set off
to trick n treat
In my small town
in my small street

My attempt at a halloween poem, we don't generally
celebrate halloween in Australia so I hope I have captured what it is like

Tracie, this is great, a really good and cute poem. We celebrate halloween in England now but, it's not a big thing here. Still I love your poem Tracie, it's really good.

OOoohhh! Booo!

You captured the spirit so well.
The little kids in their costumes are so cute and the
night of delight is such fun for them.

You are a sweetheart to do
such a delightful poem for us.

tracie - A perfect description in a delightful poem.  I loved how you tied the "my small town" line in at the beginning and end.  Nice write.
