Let’s Go Trick-or-Treating

“I do love a little Halloween fun. The thrill of a ghost hunt. A terrifying trail to find the best candy. Getting in my warm bed after a frightful night, only to enjoy my cocoa with a haunting story. Happy Halloween my friends!”

I wrote this poem in answer to the following prompts:
FOWC with Fandango  — Trick

Word of the Day Challenge  — Spooky

Let’s Go Trick-or-Treating

Halloween night is about to arrive
Get ready to trick or treat
Where spooky monsters thrive
Demon pumpkins glow at your feet

Don your hideous fancy dress
Then into the darkness, you trek
For candy, you seek to impress
Eerie mists rise between hell and heck

Zombies threaten from the first fence
You procrastinate at the gate
Screaming trick-or-treaters build suspense
 Skeletons hint at your fate

Your fear rises but in you go
A beguiling witch passes with her broom
Her smile says friend and not foe
From the door, demonic figures loom

You pray they dispense delicious treats
But fear they abet the wraiths of death
You play the cute vampire for spooky sweets
Their demonic growls steal your breath

Laughter rises beneath their cowls
Candy appears and you take your leave
Next door a werewolf howls
The witch awaits hiding behind her sleeve

Like a brave knight, you protect her
Together you trick or treat into the night
She gives you a kiss and her number
Yes Halloween was worth every fright

👻Happy Halloween!🎃
