If you listen
you can hear their
voices on the whistling wind;
if you follow
haunted humming
you will find them in the night.
On this one night of the year
they gather, feeding on your fear,
they stand in clusters, closing in,
feel the goose bumps on you skin?
If you hear
their voices murmur
like an owl hooting low
in a chorus
hypnotizing
walk real slow, prepare for fright!
They look like pumpkins at first glances
but theyll trick you, given chances
this is the day they own the night
and your fear is their delight;
If you look
youll see the glimmer
of their eyes in moonless dark;
if you creep
beneath the branches
they might not see you, or they might!
On the last day of October
theyll offer treats to win you over;
make you sing, this ghostly night
but watch out for scary sights!
