It's Halloween night and you stare all around,
Jumping at every Halloween sound.
Soft wisps of smoke from the chimneys arise
Adding a veil to the darkening skies.
Outside there are spiders and ghosts in the trees,
And witches and goblins, whose cackles the breeze
Brings frighteningly close to your listening ears.
With closed eyes you struggle to banish your fears.
You see fiery pumpkins that grin in the night.
Are monsters there hiding and waiting to bite?
