Halloween Poem by L MILTON HANKINS

Halloween



Hallowed evening is deafeningly here
Goblins and witches loud shrieks are near
Shelled corn raining down our outer wall
Our whimpering dog is cringing in the hall
Some snotty-nosed kid bangs on the door
A plastic pumpkin for candy wants even more
The tiny young princess calls out trick or treat
A four-year-old drummer boy never misses a beat
That big-footed clown lives up our lane
The kid with the rattle is driving me insane
An older woman whom I cannot figure out
Is collecting for UNICEF, somehow, I doubt
One more creature from the black lagoon
Or a big, black hairy animal like a baboon
I will take in my candy and drop out of sight
Turn off the porch lamp and call it a night
