Halloween Ghosts
Look at that!
Ghosts lined up
at the laundromat,
all around the
block.
Each has
bleach
and some
detergent.
Each one seems to
think it
urgent
to take a spin
in a
washing machine
before the
clock
strikes
Halloween!
Lilian Moore
The Jack Pumpkin
Little Jack Pumpkin Face,
Lived on a vine,
Little Jack Pumpkin Face
Thought it was fine.
First he was small and green,
Then he was big and yellow,
Little Jack Pumpkin Face
Is a fine fellow.
Dorothy Aldis
They chose me from my brother: "That's the
Nicest one," they said,
And they carved me out a face and put a
Candle on my head;
And they set me on the doorstep. On, the
Night was dark and wild;
But when they lit the candle, then I
Smiled!
One scary witch
One scary witch
is coming down the street
She's tapping at the doors,
and calling Trick or Treat!
Two black cats
Appear at the gate;
With arched up backs,
They watch and wait.
Three jack-o-lanterns
Set grinning in a row;
Their candles flicker
An eerie glow.
Four bats awake,
and begin to fly.
Swishing and swooping
across the sky.
Five tree stumps
in the shadow deep.
Crouch like monsters
ready to leap.
Six orange leaves,
Float down through the air.
They rustle and whisper
"Beware, beware!"
Seven gray clouds
Slide the moon from sight,
they stop; they hover;
They darken the night.
Eight white objects twist
And twine,
Are they ghosts....
Or sheets on a line?
Nine little field mice
Scatter and run.
Spooky nights
Are not much fun.
Ten owls smile -
They know you see....
It's Halloween
And the witch is me!
Tiny Ghost
A teeny, tiny ghost
no bigger than a mouse
at most,
lived in a great big house
It's hard to haunt
a great big house
when you're a teeny, tiny ghost
no bigger than a mouse
at most.
He did what he could do.
So every dark and stormy night
the kind that shakes the house with fright -
if you stood still and listened right,
you'd hear a
teen tiny
Boo!
Lilian Moore
What is Halloween for Kids
Goblins on the doorstep,
Phantoms in the air,
Owls on witches' gateposts
Giving stare for stare.
Cats on flying broomsticks,
Bats against the moon,
Stirring rounds of fate-cakes
With a solemn spoon,
Whirling apple parings,
Figures draped in sheets
Dodging, disappearing,
Up and down the streets,
Jack-o'-Lanterns grinning,
Shadows on the screen,
Shrieks and starts and laughter _
This is Halloween.
Dorothy Brown Thompson
