Halloween
by
Greg Pincus
Be prepared
To be scared.
Ghosts and ghouls are haunting.
Mummies moan.
Specters groan.
You know it’s you they’re wanting.
Wolfmen howl.
Goblins yowl.
A shadow hides a grave.
Streetlights flicker.
Heart beats quicker.
It’s so hard being brave.
Flashing lightning,
Far too frightening.
You know you want to flee.
But don’t run.
Just have fun.
And bring candy home for me.
Happy Halloween! Thought I'd dust off an an early (circa 2006!) GottaBook poem for the occasion. May your day be full of treats and no tricks, whether you're celebrating a holiday today or not! (And feel free to give me some of those miniature Reese's cups, if you're in a candy mood. Thanks.)

I'm the Squeak Upon the Stair... - a spooky poem
I’M THE SQUEAK UPON THE STAIR...
by
Greg Pincus
I’m the squeak upon the stair...
Yet when you look, there’s no one there.
I’m howling winds, groaning floors,
Extinguished lights, slamming doors.
I’m flitting shadows, darkening skies,
Piercing screams, distant cries.
I’m all your fears – heard, felt, or seen.
I’m in your head. I’m Halloween.
The Poetry Friday Roundup is over at Random Noodling this week. Check it out, if you dare. Spooooooky. And remember, if you end up with any extra of those little Reese's cups this Halloween, I'll gladly help you out with them.

Halloween -- a poetry re-issue!
It's Poetry Friday AND Halloween, so it seems like a good time to re-post a poem originally posted here two years ago.

Halloween -- a Halloween poem/Halloween poetry
For Poetry Friday the 13th in October (links collected here by Liz) this seemed rather appropriate somehow....
