Creatures run and witches fly
Something streaks across the sky.
Children laugh and scream and play
They can't wait til the ending day.
Monsters scream, their voices hoarse
But we let all things take their coarse.
Werewolves howl and their eyes gleam
You take no notice if you hear a scream.
Vampires smile, they've found a meal
Over a neck, their mouths will seal.
Crickets will sing, their chirps rarely heard
Over a yell there is barely a word.
Bats are flying, their wings outstretched long
You stop and listen to the owl's wise song.
Part of you can't wait til this night is done
If you are chased remember to run.
Ghosts' mournful wailing is loud as can be
You can always hear but will never see.
Home is where you should be at the end of the night
Or else you shall receive an unimaginable fright.
Leaves whip through the air and land at your feet
There's the cackle of goblins filled with deceit.
Zombies smile with dead, rotting teeth
There's a shadow behind you 'oh it's only a wreath'.
A crow looks down with mischevious eyes
The big, silver moon shines down from the skies.
The jack-o-lanterns' eyes have an eerie glow
You trample through leaves like thick, winter snow.
You arrive at your door with a relieved sigh in your chest
The creatures will disappear once you get a long rest.
You lie in bed and tuck yourself tight
And try and forget this Halloween night.
