Haiku - Halloween

Tis the season for my second favorite holiday of the year, after my birthday. When wee ones beg and plead for their treats. Their costumes were carefully planned. They are proud little pirates, princesses or punk rockers.

No matter the costume, these little ghosts and goblins are on a mission...to collect as much candy as they possibly could within their allotted time.

No obstacles will prevent these Little Mermaids or Prince Charmings from meeting their candy quota. They will leap over curbs, climb fences, bypass their tiring parents...just to get their sugar rush.

More power to these munchkins. They realize this opportunity for FREE candy only comes once a year. They firmly believe to Go Big or Go Home!

Happy trick or treating to all...

Ghosts and Goblins wake
Searching for candy to take
Give for your own sake

Bright orange aglow
Hovering winds go in low
the candle will blow

Put forth all your trust
All Hallows Eve is a must
to collect or bust

How quickly they sprout
little princesses are out
give treats or they pout

Mist from the cauldron
warns of evilness nearby
quickly move your feet

Clowns and jesters stroll
Candy for free is their goal
Parents take their toll

You got the invite
Now go on and take a bite
of sugar delight

Have them do a trick
If they really want a treat
Would that not be neat

Darkness falls quickly
Eerie sounds come from nearby
Who let the dogs out

Anticipation
Knocking on doors with such might
To all a fun fright
