Halloween to me

Is the best time of the year.

With ghosts in graveyards

And all the creepy creatures you fear.

You decorate the house,

Both inside and out.

It's OK to start in August,

Who cares if the neighbors shout?

The air gets crisp,

With the smell of Fall in the breeze.

It's such a short time,

To enjoy the colorful trees.

You get to carve your pumpkins,

Giving them Jack-o-Lantern grins.

Enter them in a carving contest,

And hope that one of them wins.

You decide on this years costume,

Will it be cute or scary?

How about a werewolf,

With sharp fangs and all hairy?

The day finally comes

And you get to go trick-or-treating.

When done, you fly back home

So you can start eating.

Telling scary ghost stories,

Staying up all night with friends.

You know how sad you'll be

When this night finally ends.

Halloween is over,

Another special night is done.

It's worth a whole year of planning

For a night that is this fun!
