'Tis Halloween

Poem by Ava Potterfield

October 31, 2014

 
'Tis Halloween 

 

Are you alone in a dark, dark place?

Is there something brushing against your face?

Are there sounds near by …

And you don’t know why?

 

Is your hair standing up?

Did something go bump?

Are there chills on your arm?

Does something mean you harm?

 

Oh be careful my friend …

And so firmly stand …

This is Halloween night …

And it is filled with fright.

 

Look to the left …

Breathe with each step.

Look to the right …

Be filled with might.

 

While on this jaunt …

You might experience a haunt!

It is in the air …

And could be anywhere!

 

 

Travel in twos …

Because if it’s true …

And you travel alone …

You might not get home.

 

Still the beating of your heart …

Try not to jump with a start.

Close your eyes as you breathe …

Stepping lightly as you leave.

 

Oh be careful my friend …

And so firmly stand …

This is Halloween night …

And it is filled with fright.

 

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!

From Doug and Ava
