Halloween Is All About Fun

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Haunted houses, a spooky abode,
With ghosts inside, on a laughter mode.
They'll pop out when you least expect,
And tell you jokes that are quite correct!

The mummy unwraps with glee,
Says, "Do you find me a bit bony?"
Frankenstein tries to dance the twist,
With bolts in his neck, it's quite a twist!

So let's embrace this eerie night,
With funny frights that feel just right.
Ghosts with humor, a rare sight to see,
Halloween's all about fun, do you agree?

Kids In Costumes

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Kids in costumes, oh, what a sight,
On Halloween, they're filled with delight.
They roam the streets, their bags so neat,
Ready for candy, it's quite the feat!

Goblins, witches, and superheroes too,
All on a quest, with one thing to pursue.
They ring doorbells and shout "Trick or treat!"
Hoping for sweets, what a tasty feat!

Some houses are spooky, with eerie sounds,
But the candy inside makes them turn around.
They'll brave the darkness, the ghouls, and the night,
For a bag full of goodies, it's quite a sight!

So on this spooky eve, under the moon's gleam,
Kids and candy, it's like a dream.
They laugh and they munch, with joy so complete,
Trick or treating, it can't be beat!

October's Here

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

October's here, kids shout, "Hooray!"
Costumes and candy, they can't delay.
But the grown-ups sigh and start to sway,
Seeing winter creeping, not a bright array.

Kids dream of treats and pumpkin pies,
While adults foresee snowflakes in the skies.
October's charm does arise.
The frosty chill and winter's surprise.

So as kids count days till Halloween's play,
Adults think of shoveling snow, oh, the dismay!
October's fun and games, kids lead the way,
While grown-ups see winter, in shades of gray.

So as kids count days till Halloween's play, Adults think of shoveling snow, oh, the dismay! Halloween Poems

Pumpkins Everywhere

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Pumpkins pop up everywhere, you see,
All are carved with faces, each quite unique,
Some with candles, a spooky spree,
And some without, like a pumpkin sneak.

They grin on porches, and in windows, too,
With crooked smiles, a ghostly crew.
Some scary, some funny, some simply boo,
Pumpkins everywhere, that's the Halloween view!

But when the night of tricks and treats is done,
And Halloween's fun has had its run,
Those pumpkins vanish, every single one,
Leaving no trace, but we had much fun.
