Spooky
by
Jayron Sanchez
In the moonlight, shadows creep
Pumpkins glow, the night’s not cheap.
Witches fly on broomsticks high,
Ghosts and goblins dance and sigh.
Candy corn and tricks to share,
Costumes bright, a night to dare.
Spooky tales and laughter loud,
Halloween, we’re brave and proud!
Halloween

Bright orange leaves,
Leaves falling on the ground,
October is ready to leave,
Hallowen night,
Scary costumes all in sight,
Kids running around with candy in their bags,
Trick O Treat they repeat at every house they arrive to,
Last house they'll be visiting is their own
Halloween

​
In the whispered glow of the October night, costumes are paraded in the flickering light.
Pumpkins grinning with carved-out in glee
Spiders weave tales from the branches of a tree.
Goblins and witches on broomsticks take flight
Ghosts drift through shadows, a haunting delight.
Children with bags, their laughter resounds,
Through neighborhoods echoing with playful sounds.
The moon hangs low, cloaked in a mist, casting eerie shadows, a beckoning twist
Candles flicker in jack-o'-lanterns' gaze,
As secrets of Halloween dance in a haze.
Bonfires crackle, their warmth drawing near,
While stories of spirits bring laughter and fear.
Cider and caramel, dates with delight,
On this magical eve, all is enchanted tonight.
So gather your courage, embrace the unknown,
In this mystical time, let your heart be shown.
For Halloween whispers of wonders untold,
In the stories we share, and the adventures bold
Halloween

The poem is about a cute couple going trick or treating on halloween with their matching costumes
The couple is very much in love with each other.
On Halloween night, with a chill in the air,
She waits at the door, with a flower in her hair.
A knock and a smile, he's dressed just like she,
In matching costumes, a perfect pair to be.
They wander through streets lined with flickering lights,
Hand in hand under the soft windy nights.
She’s a princess, he’s her knight
No matter the costume, it just feels so right.
Laughter and whispers as they wandered the streets,
From house to house getting sweet treats.
The world slips away in the moon’s soft light,
Just them together, alone in the night.
Under the stars, where the street lamps are dim,
She feels her heart dance just thinking of him.
Dressed up in costumes, their love's shining bright,
On this Halloween night, everything feels right.

Dark gloomy night
Kids all in my sight
Dressed up for a night of fright
Who knows what will come around their right
Happily skipping around
Trick o Treating tonight
Parents know they won’t get any nap time
Once all home the kids go SNACK TIME!
Halloween

In the glow of pumpkin lights, she sways,
A mindless sound of laughter, she conveys
Friends with all sorts of clothing, spirits roam free,
But her heart skips for him, in a mask full of glee.
Underneath the lunar glow, their secrets unfold,
With whispers of dreams, both caring and bold.
In the spooky season, still mischievous in a tune
Two souls attached like it was to be June
As the night closes with a playful fright
Memories with youth captured in one night.
With every movement she captures the thrill,
A teenage romance, electric and still.
