It’s a ghoulish night at the curve of the street

All the boys and girls are going trick or treat

Costumed in and as their latest aspiration

Filled with joy, candy and their inspiration

There’s a trick here to getting to those treats

And a need to fill the hunger for those sweets

The screamcape  darkens as childhood’s play

Flashlights are glowing on this Halloween day

Up and down and along the curve of the street

All the good ghouls and goblins trick or treat

Then afterward with bellies as full as the moon

The children listen as the werewolves croon

Halloween is over before we are ready to go home

Wait… what’s the noise creaking under that gravestone….
