Every year at Halloween
excitement filled the air
and children waited
on bated breath
to be goblins, witches,
hoboes and clowns
be become something
of a magical flare
where two streets over
lived a witch to bate them
her house decorated
with pumpkins and ghouls
but who could resist the
table laid before them
with all manner of sweet things
to cause you to drool
