Autumn leaves covered the buried
Bats watched from their caves
Crows flew over the cemetery
Demons rose from their graves
Early on there was no warning
Full moon engulfed the sky
Ghosts lingered that morning
Haunted the chosen who died
It all started on Mischief Night
Jack o’ lanterns lit up the street
Keepers of this monument site
Left candy for trick or treats
Midnight too soon to fall
November rushed to begin
Out of nowhere an owl called
Phantoms laughed at their sins
Quest to take another soul
Relished in the victims’ fear
Screams heard in households
Troubled by this spook revered
Unstable chaos struck this town
Vampires’ thirsts had horrified
Witches fired their brooms abound
X’s written across tombs multiplied
Yikes, who could imagine anything worse?
Zombies only added to this Halloween curse
