Can You Tell Halloween Is Near?

I love Halloween!!

The hair line although fine is the only weak link in an otherwise charming poem.

Bats flying grabbing you by the hair

Bats landing down in your hair

Bats hanging by a single hair

I can't improve on it.

As it happens this is a question and is asked in the subject line as such, using the correct puncyuation, "?"

As to the poem Shiley, it is a wonderful trip though some fond memories, and thank you for postin.

It was warm that year, for halloween

we dressed in our best, so as to be well seen

Early out as darkness fell

early home, when sacks did swell.

Mistake it was to hand out ice cream bars,

and as my bag filled, after goin far

on a porch, in a spooky light

my sack broke, to some ghosts delight,

melted the pop did, too soon then for dessert

my candy spilled all over, Oh that so hurt.

Consoled I was by candy from the people at the door

They gave me a new sack, as I asked for just one more.

It wasn't the best year, but one I can smile about now.

A vivid poem which I enjoyed reading,

and a reminder that I must stock up

for the Trick or Treat knock on the door...

The last two lines are my favourite

I guess it must be a good poem because

while reading it I got a flash of Clement Moore's

"The Night Before Christmas"

...only in a holloweeny way

This is really a great poem...having the colorful

descriptions of the holiday time, yet also the

reminders of being safe as there are dangers

to be remembered~ excellent job!

I especially like the 'cider mist'

A very sweet poem with just enough nasty... :)

OMG,This scared me..The nasties..

Very tragic poem showing the dangers

of what should be fun.True poem.

Thanks for scaring.

I do so love Autumn and the advent of Halloween. You've just reminded in superior fashion I might add just why it is so. Thanks Shirley, love the poem.

Halloween > ALL OTHER HOLIDAYS! Yes, yes and this is a charming, or horrific, (take your pick) piece of writin'.

lovely poem, but i don't see a question [other than the title of the poem, which is not a 'true' question because it's a title.]

neat theme, though! i liked it.
