Who will you visit on Halloween?
Will you have fun, will it be a scream?
Who will you visit on Halloween?
Will it be a quick visit or will you never leave?
Who will you visit on Halloween?
Will it be fun, will it be a scream?

The Pumkin Carver
There are 79 days left to Halloween and I found a little treat from Halloweens past to share:

I want to carve a pumpkin
I want to bring it to life
I’ll give it a face, a smile and eyes
and a mouth so it can speak
and when you come to my door and cry out Trick or Treat
my pumpkin will
scream in terror and say
‘RUN! SHE’S CRAZY AND SHE HAS A KNIFE…RUN FOR YOU LIFE!!!”
Late on Halloween
Word of he Day Challenge-Improvizing

I wasn’t ready for Halloween
I didn’t have a costume to wear
My pumpkin didn’t have a face
my decorations were still in their boxes
upstairs.
I didn’t know what to do
I wasn’t ready to make merry that night
What would I do when the witches, monsters and ghouls
knocked on my door at twilight.
Hand them some candy, cupcakes or snacks
shaped like coffins, body parts and fangs
or better yet I suppose I could-
give them the real things instead.
The Nervous Tenants
Word of the Day Challenge: Nervous
Did I check the basement door
a hundred times before
I went up to the attic last night?
Did I lock the front door
check the windows
upstairs
a hundred times before
I walked the halls to my rooms
each night?
I can’t say, I can’t remember
if I checked the locks on the doors
a hundred times before
but I know I should, I know I must
because I hear desperate voices ask each other all night
” Did you hear that? Did you see that?”
When I haunt my house
each night.
