As darkness descends upon us
And the moon casts an eerie glow
On the last day of October
It is All Hallows Eve, you know
ππππ
Where souls of those once departed
Come back once more to roam
Visiting their old haunts
Finding their way back home
ππππ
Some of them are banshees
Screaming in the night
Or ugly, warty witches
That look an awful fright
ππππ
Vampires who are looking
For someoneβs blood to suck
Zombies from the graveyard
Decayed, and covered in muck.
ππππ
There are ghosts and there are werewolves
All of which youβll meet
When you answer your front door bell
And the kids yell βTrick or Treat!β
It’s such a lovely poem Edwina π
Happy Halloween!
Love and light β€

Reblogged this on blabberwockying! and commented:
In this part of the world Halloween is not celebrated. I don’t know how Halloween started. I was not even aware that it’s celebrated on the last evening of October before reading Edwina’s beautiful poem.
Halloween reminds me of film Scream which I watched in my college days. Then its parodies which were packed with others like Grudge–they were hilarious! Halloween also reminds me of pumpkins–I don’t know why but you see a lot of pumpkins and Jack-o-lanterns don’t you?
Pumpkins with shapes like faces in night! I have mostly seen Halloween in films. It’s one of the most fun festivals I must say–it is the most eerie and bizarre of all celebrations.
Even this poem, as I was reading it on the Reader had so many pumpkins on it–every stanza has pumpkins so my guess is right–pumpkins do have to do something with Halloween!
Hall-o–Ween!
Hall of Ween!
Hallow of a Queen!
Hallo of a Ween?
Whatever!
Thanks Edwina, for this beautiful humorous poem and giving me a reason to rant about Halloween–as I know nothing about Halloween–Trick or Treat! It’s always a Trick–never a treat without a trick you know!
Happy Halloween!

Thanks for the poem, which brought a smile. I took my kids trick-or-treating, even though Halloween is barely celebrated in Australia. Here’s a link to my post about an Australian Halloween. https://beyondtheflow.wordpress.com/2015/10/31/an-australian-halloween/

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
