Alleyways of Ashes
Leaves are falling, in the crisp autumn air
Doorbells chime, dare you enter houses of scare?
The wind howls, trees bend and sway,
Ghastly gremlins coming out to play.
Ghouls, ghosts, and goblins haunt the streets
Pounding on doors, shouting “Trick-or-Treat!”
In a town where shadow creep,
The man of Grim coming out to reap
A horse-like man missing a head
Victim’s ripped clothes smeared crimson red
Pumpkins glow with fierce fiery eyes,
Casting light under darkening skies
Everyone gets tense before sprinting in fear
With no safe places anywhere near
Spine-chilling spirits, they roamed the night,
Matches heading toward the houses ‘til they ignite.
The childrens’ blood starts pumping as they run away
Not one of them saw another Halloween day.
A poem about halloween
