children's halloween
nightmares and sleepy time dreams
of pumpkin delights

Hear ye! All my friends!
Now the revolution comes
Prepare for the fight
*
Look at my poor face
Carved and mutilated now
Once I was like you
*
Here's what must be done
When they pull you off the vine
Shriek! Get up and run!
*
No more pumpkin pies
No more scooping our insides
Live to an old age
*
Hallowe'en is here
The Great Pumpkin has spoken
Now time to De-Vine!

haunting we will go
holding tightly to my hand
my brave little ones forge on
*
ghost-like sounds echo
in the dark and windy night
shadows are frightening
*
they huddle closer
pushing the doorbell quickly
waiting patiently
*
reaching in the bag
goodies peeking through fingers
eyes are all aglow

I am King Pumpkin
All you field peons down below
Must heed my commands
By Sharon (Sunyskys1943@aol.com)
frost becomes pumpkins
orange, their favorite color
night moon their splendor
*
like scary old man
sits on a cold wooden fence
moon lights up his find
By Phyllis Ann (Starbird55@comcast.net)
hayride to the field
pumpkins laying everywhere
among dead cornstalks
*
big, small, misshapen
listen close, you will hear them
take me, take me, pleeeeeeeeeease
*
I will glow lovely
make me a cool or ugly
jack-o-lantern
*
oh pleeeeease take me home
out of the night's frigid cold
it's warm on your porch
*
so, I took one home
but I cooked it in a pie
never cold again.

A pumpkin ogre
faithfully guarding pumpkins
moon aiding vigil
*
yellow and orange
the year’s crop of ripe pumpkins
slumber neath rail fence
*
eerie hollow guard
peter pumpkin guards the patch
sleep jack o’lanterns
*
moon o’er punkin patch
ghouls and goblins scavenging
short their existence

Knight of the full moon
Ooooh, I'm scary
Don't you think so? No.
He got his wish -
the pumpkin that wanted
to be a scarecrow
By Marilyn (LaraOct7@aol.com)
Big orange pumpkin
Resting quietly out there.
I'm coming for you.
*
Are you scared of me?
Going to carve you all up.
Give you a spook face.
*
Better idea here,
I'll paint you in weird colors
Then you'll be a pie.

In every crowd
someone makes it to the top
just like a fool moon.

Halloween coming
Remember my pumpkin patch
Left seeds years ago
*
A knock on my door
Open it,see a stranger
His name I do know
*
Promised to come back
Last time dirty and shabby
Now dressed like a prince
*
Walked down my pathway
Surprise pumpkins big and small
Had grown in my field
*
Harvest moon shone bright
Carved scarecrow to sit on fence
Can you stay awhile
*
Have supper with me
chicken dumplings pumpkin bars
Rest and watch tv
Be my scarecrow give out treats
Was just right for Hallowe'en
By Lilly (LilprincessItali@aol.com)
A mighty pumpkin
sits on a gray, wooden fence
Greeting all goblins
*
BOOtifully grand
He commands your attention,
Dominating all
