It's Halloween, it's Halloween
Witches zoom through on brooms
Very scary creatures are skeleteens
Frightened children stay in rooms
Kids are afraid of heights
Werewolves bite
Children fly their kites
Mouses on houses
All on Halloween night.
~Mitchell H.- age 7
Once aupon a halloween night. All was loud but yet not a sound was heard. Trick-or-treaters ring door bells and eating candy well others get ready for suprizes and goodies.Jack-o-lenterns shining and the wind howaling. Treaters say good night and give out the last of candy well kids are at home trading and trying new things andgetting tucked in to bed or putting on there pj's. The least I can say is dress up for Halloween and enjoy your goodies!

My Invisibility poem
Invisible, invisible,
Make me invisible,
So other’s eyes will not see me
Invisible, invisible,
Make me invisible,
So in the cauldron I put three
Glasses from boots
An owl that hoots,
And a mirror of the ghostly
Invisible, invisible,
Make me invisible,
And so shall be me!

a witch came flying about
on a nasty, dark, battered broom
she lets out a crackle that sends shivers down peoples spine
then cast a spell that makes people go mad
she goes around doing evil as she please
with no one to stop her for she is the wicked witch
as the sky grows light she disappears
to her dark, wet, slimey cave
to do her nasty biddings
she stirs her potion filled with goo
then put in a eyeball
she crackles again with sound that sends shivers down your spine
as the darkness gloomed over the city
she appears again
doing evil over and over
for she's the wicked witch
a sight of her makes people scream in horror
for her face is as dry as leather
also with moles on her forehead and chin
with a razor sharp nose that can pierce through skin
in the end she's had her fun she disappears and comes back
again and again....

Some one is always sitting there, In the little green orchard;
Even when the sun is high In noon's unclouded sky,
And faintly droning goes The bee from rose to rose,
Some one in shadow is sitting there In the little green orchard.
Yes, when the twilight's falling softly
In the little green orchard;
When the grey dew distills
And every flower-cup fills;
When the last blackbird says,
'What - what!' and goes her way - ssh!
I have heard voices calling softly
In the little green orchard
Not that I am afraid of being there,
In the little green orchard;
Why, when the moon's been bright,
Shedding her lonesome light,
And moths like ghosties come,
And the horned snail leaves home:
I've sat there, whispering and listening there,
In the little green orchard.
Only it's strange to be feeling there,
In the little green orchard;
Whether you paint or draw,
Dig, hammer, chop or saw;
When you are most alone,
All but the silence gone...
Some one is watching and waiting there,
In the little green orchard.

Trouble in Disguise
Black cats, Black cats, lurking in the night,
With bright green eyes, sparkling bright.
They may look sweet and innocent too,
But if they cross your path,
You will feel fate’s wrath!
Bad luck will start to come your way,
Following you everyday.
Making your life miserable as can be,
These are black cats, can’t you see!!!

Beware those golden pumpkins,
for it’s the night of hollow’s eve!
There Monsters to scare the children
and witches to prepare the seen!
Finally it’s Halloween!
Those pumpkins gleam with fright!
As the children stare in awe,
they flee with there hands held tight!
For it’s the best night of the year
and we can all agree,
there’s nothing like some good old fear,
Before we set the children free!

An Evening In October
An October evening
Carved pumpkins with grins
Old witches on broomsticks
Hover o'er haunted inns
Hoot owls in willows
Black bats
How they swoon
Moans from a graveyard
An eerie full moon
Frankenstein's Monster
Casper and Crew
Long awaited this moment
A chance to say, "Boo!"
Draculas, devils and werewolves appear
Resurrect and Rejoice!
Halloween's almost here!
An old haunted mansion
So scary but sweet!
Have a Happy Halloween
A real neat Trick or Treat!
~Rose~
Goblins and ghouls,ghosts too,

~Em~
Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky,
When elf and sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen.
Tonight is the night
When leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground,
When spooks and trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy and green.
Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghouls and ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their queen.
It's Halloween.
~Tasha~
Finally its halloween

Candy everywhere

On this blackest of nights
Goblins, Monsters, and Witches are coming for YOU!!!

Halloween
When the days become short,
And the nights become long,
Little kids will come out,
And your house will sing ding-dong.
But the little kids aren’t the only ones out, With candy on the mind, You better lock your doors, And watch your behind.
Monsters come out,
Ghosts and goblins do to,
Witches all shapes and sizes,
With caldrons from green to blue.
But they’re nothing to be afraid of,
They only want something to eat,
So on Halloween night,
Just give them a treat.
~Kathryn~
lanterns light the streets as little children come to trick or treat.
the headless horseman rides through town, spooking all that are around.
Witches brew a potion so foul, that even a werewolf cannot howl.
skeletons dance around the tombs, and bats crowd the moon.
Garlic is hung from the door, knowing it is the thing vampires abhor.
Pumpkins are carved with groteque pictures, as cookie batter spins through the mixer.
so little children cover your heads, curl up in your warm beds.
Halloween is not soon over, and evil spirits still want to hover.
take my warning with great heed, as ghosts and ghouls do no good deeds
~Madison- age 12~
I walk across the darkened park on that lonely halloween night. I can feel wrapped around me a blanket of dark on that scary
halloween night
I edge my way around the lake
a long long time I take
as I watch for witches, ghosts and ghouls on this creepy halloween night.

Halloween Night
Little children walk the streets,
Saying jokes for yummy sweets.
All the children laugh and smile,
This day only comes once in a while.
Ghosts, Goblins and Witches too,
Stir the cauldron making evil Witches Brew.
The Vampires are in there caves,
In the cemetery zombies are rising from their graves.
All this stuff is quite the fright,
Children beware its Halloween Night!!!!!!!
~Ruth Age 11~
Five Little Cats
Five little cats sitting near a
house.
The first one said "I saw a
mouse"!
The second one said "I'd like to sail in
a boat".
The third one said "I saw a
goat".
The fourth one said "We'd better
run".
The fifth one said "Aren't you having
fun"?
~Prapti~
If you come to this door on Halloween night,
All you will be is full of fright,
For in this house, this house right here,
Werewolves sing out loud and clear,
The rooms are dark and the lights are dim,
Your dreams will be filled with crys to the brim,
So come, venture in and knock if you dare,
But I'm warning you, your in for a scare!!!
~Fredi~
HALLOWEEN NIGHT YOU GET A FRIGHT,
KNOCK ON DOORS YOU SEE CATS CLAWS,
YOU SMELL WITCHES BREW AND
YOU HEAR A GHOST SAY BOO,
YOU GET A FRIGHT OF THE SIGHT.
THE FRIGHT OF HALOWEEN NIGHT.
~Jennifer~

Joyce writes, "I'm 50+ years old; my favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas, and I enjoy composing funny/goofy poetry, often based on Halloween.
I haven't let the child in me grow up, despite having an adult job, so I let myself have fun with my poetry! "
Chicken Beak Stew
Eye of newt,
Skin of frog,
Scales of snake,
Hair of dog--
Spiders legs and Lizard's lips,
Warts of toad and Hornet's hips,
Turnip greens and chicken beaks,
A cup of Bees,
A pound of Leeks,
Claw of Vulture,
Fur of Bat,
Tail of Lizard,
Meow of Cat,
Smell of Wet Dog and a cup of fat.
Stir it all together and let it all brew; on Halloween night you'll have Chicken Beak Stew!
EEUUWW!!
A Werewolf Halloween
Unearthly sheen in sombre night,
A manic glow that's not quite right.
Loud and hollow, the howl rings,
It's fear and panic that it brings.
The tiny scuttling all around,
As colossal paws claw at the ground.
Keep your senses, hold your nerve,
Around you creatures dart and swerve.
Be motionless, you might catch sight,
Of shadowy beasts within the night.
You hear it coming, and your fear grows,
Those staring eyes with madness glow.
Ahead, a large, atramentous shape,
A werewolf looms, you've no escape.
He gazes at you with orbs alight,
Hypnotic pull, you cannot fight.
A growl sounds from immensive beast,
Such bone-chilling sound is released.
A nightmare dwells within this scene,
A werewolf hunt, on Halloween.
The woods around you seem to shrink,
The werewolf nears, your hopes shall sink.
More gather, working as a team,
And one last sound, a fading scream.
~Toph age 12~
It's Halloween!!
Ghosts and witches are to be seen
They are everywhere
~Janet~

HALLOWEEN POEM
It was a dark and windy night
As we trick o treated with fright
Gathering candy and treats
While strolling down the streets
A ghost appeared from nowhere
And boy we were so scared
We dropped our loot
And decided to scoot
And went home with our
Underwear.
~Amelia- age 13~

Good thing that all
The monsters are dead!!!

The Halloween Poem
Pumpkin moon Halloween fright
Children go, out at night.
House to house they go,
Dressed in spooky clothes to show.
Cauldrons spit and bubble
With toads legs and trouble.
Pumpkins fly above the sky
Showing their light across the night.
If you dare to go out there,
You must be brave and do not scare.
Hold your breath,
So you do not fret and fear.
Because HALLOWEEN is finally here!
~Tiger Pearl- age 8~
Munsters

there he is coming even closer look out for it's the little munster
He is not mean but quite friendly but please don't call him hennry for he's our little munster

Loads of candy
Lots of fun
Over the hills witches rise from their sleep
We don’t know when to stop Even skeletons get a scare
Everywhere kids are laughing Now that’s all the fun on Halloween
Freaky costumes
Freaky costumes everywhere.
Some are quite a scare.
Vampires and witches.
Warewolves rising out of ditches.
Ghost and ghouls abound.
Freaky costumes are all around!
Candy
All this candy there’s just so much.
How will I eat all of it in this bunch?
I have snickers, Hersheys, and lolipops too.
I know! I’ll share some with you!
Halloween fun
Halloween is so fun you get all this candy, sugar, and sweets.
When you get home you’re so scared you hide under sheets.
Halloween parties everywhere.
A lot of costumes I saw were in a pair.

In fact, I even saw 2 hens!
Halloween is so fun. But the best of all…
Trick-Or-Treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Witches
Wrinkley witches what a scare!
There are witches here, there, and everywhere.
They are super, duper scarey!
~Ryan~
There once was a little ghost.
His name was Timmy Little.
He sat upon his lonely post.
When along rolled a skittle.
It rolled past where Timmy was sat.
And kept on rolling down the road.
Timmy looked up and put on his hat.
"Follow it!" said the grumpy old toad.
Timmy took the old toads advice.
And followed the skittle down to the feild.
He floated over the melted ice.
And sighed as his fate was sealed.
The feild was empty as Timmy got near.
Not a skittle or rainbow in sight.
And down Timmy's cheek rolled a single tear.
For now he would forever be white.
~Mickey~
Halloween
This is the night of fright and screams,
A time to be scared out of your seams.
Witches, Vampires, Ghouls, and Goblins run about,
Trick or treat til the candy runs out.
Lock your doors and windows, secure your bolts,
The creatures will shock you like a ton of volts.
Dress up in your scariest outfit,
I'd sleep with the candle lit.
Play your pranks, but don't be seen,
Don't forget to have a Happy Halloween!!!
BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Brittney~
It’s Halloween again,

Ghosts and goblins shouting “BOO!”
