Aliens, monsters,

and vampires, oh my! Watch out,

all you princesses.

 

 

Cold, wet, runny nose

I can't feel my toes.  Must fill

bag with more candy.   

 

 

Darkness sneaks in, Ghouls

creep in, knocking on soul's doors.

Craving sweet candy.   

Darkness falls. Moonbeams

and candlelit walkways raise.

Childhood emerges.

Anticipation.

Waiting for darkness. Little

ghost asks, "Is it time?"

Dark night, candlelight.

A hand to hold, in case. Trick-

or- treat.  Sweet embrace.
