Halloween

Dressed as witches,vampires or ghosts,

dozens of children walk down the dimly lit lane.

They knock on doors turn by turn,

waiting eagerly for a bunch of candy corn or maybe a candy cane.

The door creaks and opens as they cry,

Trick, or Treat!

With smiles on their faces they count the candy,

they have gotten to eat.

Their costumes dazzle in the moonlight,

their candy bags are stuffed with treats,

as they walk home, munching and tasting,

one or two of the delicious sweets.

At night,
when the moon is full,
and the stars  are twinkling,
children are asleep,
dreaming.....

Witches fly past their windows,
ghosts appear through the walls,
pixies zoom out of their closets,
scarecrows are playing with their balls...

Screaming, shouting, off they run,
with teddies in their hands,
awake, now, they leave,
all those magical lands.
