Pumpkins On Elm Street

On this eerie Halloween night
As the wind blows through the trees,
The children go trick or treating
As they scurry among the leaves.
The pumpkins on Elm Street are lit
With carved faces all a glow,
Some are scary and some are cute
But there's something you should know.

When the candy is all given out
And the children are in bed,
Elm Street becomes eerily silent
Something you should dread.
The pumpkins come to life
As they dance with goblns and ghosts,
Screeching and moaning through the night
As Spooky the cat, jumps off her post.

Skeletons come out of nowhere
Clacking along down Elm Street,
Bats fly out of the trees
As the pumpkins come to meet.
The skeletons grab a pumpkin
Putting it over their head,
As the street comes to life
With the souls of the dead.

Doing the Monster Mash on your lawn
As All Hallow's Eve winds down,
Their party will soon be over
As they depart your small town.
The clock in the town square
Strikes midnights eerie crest,
As all forms of creatures scurry
Leaving the street a mess.

When the sun breaks the horizon
And you go out for your morning paper,
You look in awe at the mess
From the ghostly creatures caper.
Don't blame it on the children
Though they can be little demons,
But it's the Festival Of Ghouls on Halloween
That happens when you're dreamin.

Very Seasonal! Enjoyed this very much.

Reminded me of a Halloween version of 'Twas the night before xmas

That was a pretty cool poem. Im saving that to show to my friends.
