Hail Halloween


from the ABC set Puffs of Poetry

Ghosts and grave goblins
Float in the fog
Bones of the bad ones
Rise from the bog

Witches are brewing
Potions that pop
Crawlies are creeping
Slithering slop

Vampires and villains
Lurk in the dark
Zig Zagging Zombies
Prowl in a park

Spiders are spinning
Webs on each porch
Candles in pumpkins
Smells of the scorch

Chocolate for children
Strolling the streets
begs with bags open
tricks for no treats

From dancing red devils
To ghouls that glow green
Souls of All Saints Night
Hail Halloween

Howdy Larkin,

Like it, really got into the "spirit" of things! But lines 5 thru 8 seemed to miss the mark. A bit of a stretch on the near rhyme thing. I was playing around with it and came up with:

Witches are brewing
Cauldrens are boiling
Creepies are creeping
Crawlies are crawling

Love the Zig Zagging Zombies line!!!

Happy Halloween!
