# The witches fly

Across the sky,

The owls go, "Who? Who? Who?"

The black cats yowl

And green ghosts howl,

"Scary Halloween to you!"

~Nina Willis Walter~

# HALLOWEEN MAGIC

A bald-headed ghost

Drank some witches' brew

And on top of his head

A strange thing grew.

It was pointed and tall

And black as a bat

With stringy long hair

Where his head was flat.

The sad little ghost

Didn't want any hair

Or a black pointed hat

So he said, "Witch beware!"

Then he chanted some words

With a spell-casting switch

And gave Halloween Night

A bald-headed witch!!

~Barbara M. Hales~

# SHIVERS

Bushes quiver

where shadows lean,

and not a sliver

of moon is seen.

Near the river

some goblins (green)

with a witch in front

and a ghost in between

Make me sh..i..vvvver,

but I am keen

about the shivers

of Halloween.

I love the ending, but your meter in the first two lines of the second stanza is missing a couple of beats.

Meter always gives me trouble.

Otherwise, you have another winner.

As Paris Hilton would say "That's Hot, Ice!"

Great poem - very entertaining and visual.

good do you like mine (thumbs up if good) its called Deep-Sea Squeeze:

I’m wrapped from top to bottom

in an octopus embrace

with seven arms around my waist

and one across my face.

It all began this morning

with a scuba diving trip.

I found the creature wedged beneath

a sunken pirate ship.

So, carefully, I dug him free.

He offered no objection

but covered me in tentacles

with octopus affection.

It seems I’ve made a friend today,

but this I’d like to know:

How do you say, in octopus,

“You’re welcome. Please let go”?

are you guys understand this poem by great master meng hao ran

卷160_5 「望洞庭湖，赠张丞相（一作临洞庭）」孟浩然

八月湖水平，涵虚混太清。

气蒸云梦泽，波撼岳阳城。

　　欲济无舟楫，端居耻圣明。

坐观垂钓者，空有羡鱼情。
