Candy Deep
Under a costume
makeup and hair
The excited child
breathes in the night air
Pumpkin in hand
She swings it along
"Trick or Treat"
Becomes her song
This way and that way
Up and down streets
Door to door
She collects her treats
On this Halloween night
Her pumpkin is filled
Now home to her table
Her pumpkin gets spilled
Sorting and smiling
Thinking "What a big heap!"
This Halloween girl
Is candy deep

Poetry: Halloween
In the old cemetery Halloween night,
The low moon was full and bright,
But intermittently obscured by thin wispy clouds.
And
On old hollow eve he first was seen
Riding a black horse with sword in air
A figure draped in black, a frighting fiend
CEMETERY SCENE:
‘Twas late in the evening
One Halloween
When I happened
upon this scene
Being lowered into a grave
The other side of Halloween...
Autumn cast its pallet
over Summer's ripened fruit
as harvest bares the fields once more
by Jack Ivey
It’s late this night of Halloween
I’m lost and quite alone
Walking down an empty street
To find my way back
