As it’s Halloween today, I thought I’d write a little poem to celebrate it. We don’t do as much for Halloween in the U.K. as the people of the US do, but it’s beginning to creep in here. This year I’ve noticed a few people have decorated their houses.
Halloween
Witches gather their broomsticks
Putting on pointy hats.
Devils creep out from hell
As spiders build their webs.
Ghosts walk the streets
And skeletons leave their graves
Jack O’Lanterns grin
With fiery eyes that glow
A cold wind blows the leaves
As we shiver in our homes.
The darkness seems to creep
Beneath the gap below the door.
Ghostly sounds are heard.
And the doorbell rings
We huddle together in fear.
What horrors await outside?
We creep towards the door
And open it with care.
The ghosts and skeletons jump
Towards us with a screech.
The witches cackle loudly,
Jack O’Lantern held up high.
Then come the words we know

Were there any trick or treaters at your door this year? I didn’t realize that happened in the UK as well.

It’s getting more popular over here, Rebecca, although not with everyone. There weren’t any round here.

Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve written some more ‘serious’ or scary ones, but I wanted this one to be more fun.

I am usually poised to terrify the ‘trick or treaters’ as they ring the bell, but it’s been very uneventful this year. As quiet as the grave, you might say.

Haha. I like the idea of turning the tables and scaring them! There’s never much activity around here.A few people have put out carved pumpkins, but that’s about all.
What do they do with the pumpkin flesh? I’ll bet they don’t make pumpkin pie, nor roast it!
At the risk of sounding like an old curmudgeon (excellent word), it seems a terrible waste of food when there are so many peoply struggling to feed their families.

If it were not for some fund-raising events around town, one wouldn’t even know about Halloween here.

A few (very few) people have decorated their houses near to my daughter’s house, but an alien would think it was to do with spiders and not ghosts and witches as I didn’t see a single one of them when visiting last weekend, but loads of cobwebs and enormous spiders. Not good for my son-in-law who is an arachnophobe!
