This is Halloween
Dorothy Brown Thompson
Goblins on the doorstep,
Phantoms in the air,
Owls on witches’ gateposts
Giving stare for stare,
Cats on flying broomsticks,
Bats against the moon,
Stirrings round of fate-cakes
With a solemn spoon,
Whirling apple parings,
Figures draped in sheets
Dodging, disapprearing,
Up and down the streets,
Jack-o’-lanterns grinning,
Shadows on a screen,
Shrieks and starts and laughter-
This is Halloween!
Halloween (Witches Flying)
Mary Jane Carr
Witches flying past on broomsticks,
Black cats leaping here and there,
White-robed spooks on every corner,
Mournful moaning in the air,
Goblins peering out of windows,
Spirit-things that rap and run-
But don’t be scared-it’s just October,
Having one last hour of fun!
Pumpkin Bells
(to tune of Jingle Bells)
Dashing through the streets
In our costumes bright and gay
To each house we go
Laughing all the way.
Halloween is here,
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to trick-or-treat
And sing pumpkin carols tonight!
Oh, pumpkin bells! Pumpkin bells!
Ringing loud and clear,
Oh, what fun we’ll have tonight
Since Halloween is here!
