ReplyDeleteSeason of the Witch
My black cat hisses at the sky
as ghostly clouds of mist roll in.
It's time at last! I grab my broom
and off I fly to meet my kin.
Thanks for hosting this fun contest, Gail!

Here's my entry:
Beware!
Creeping mist swirls through air
Night transforms into its lair
Creatures howl in pure delight--
Do you dare go out tonight?

This is an entry from Susan A. She can't access her account so she emailed her poem to me.
ReplyDeleteOn Halloween, they ring my bell
"Trick or Treat" I hear them yell
A smile spreads across my face
My anxious heart begins to race
I tiptoe fast across the floor
Then turn the handle of my door
"Come in," I say. "For your surprise"...
(I am a witch in human disguise!)
Vanished
ReplyDeleteThe chilly autumn breeze
whistles through the gnarly trees
as a misty fog hangs in the air.
Costumed children walk the streets
seeking tricks and tasty treats.
They see the witch’s house. Do they dare?
She stands on her front porch
holding up a flaming torch
as she greets the children with an eerie grin.
Then a skeleton appears
with a top hat and big ears.
Holding candy in a bowl of dented tin.
The children snatch a tasty treat
then quickly run injto to the street
as they peek back at the uncanny pair.
The porch is black and dark.
From the torch there is no spark
And the house is swallowed by the misty air.
On Halloween Night

Sky is dreary.
Night is eerie.
Witch is weary.
Ghost is leery.
It's Halloween, Deary!
More great Halloween treats. Thanks for stopping by Susan, Russ and Charline.
