“Halloween Warning”
By
Pamela K. Kinney
Cool breeze of autumn
Darkness now earlier,
October days, leaves of color
Halloween looming with menace.
With this time come things,
Things unmentionable;
Unsettling and haunting.
White and gray wisps,
Fluttering in the night
Jack-o-lanterns with leering grins
Hear that howl?
Is it the neighbor’s dog?
Or something else?
Blood-chilling;
Downright frightening.
Phantoms, werewolves, ghouls,
Many other kinds of fiends. . .
RUN! HIDE! SAVE YOURSELVES!
Or welcome these harbingers of Samhain,
What’s a little fear among friends on Halloween?
