Halloween at Your Door

Halloween at your door

with trickle treating

upon us

once more.

Mini bodies like

hairy goblins,

monsters and evil

wobbles on the walk.

The livid doves of wintry

paleness on your street

come to haggle

for a sweet.

Baby faces turned

Frankenstein.

Come for the feasting

of toffee apples

and swills of lushing

trickling spices.

Whispering little monstrous

bodies, lurking at your door,

gathering pumpkins

and bowls of bristling

marshmallows, sugary

moistening and sprinkling

of joyous wonder

nestling tasting

on your tongue.

Those little mites, dressed as

Dracula, zombies, deathly

monster beings and

witchy witches, waggling

their broomsticks along the walk.

Whilst red raw cheeks on

mini painted faces

with amusing smiles,

spooky chuckling darlings

as dark roads

swarm with little kiddies

roaming along to

grab

their rush of

trickle treats.
