Is It Halloween Tonight Poem by Mark Heathcote

It isn't Halloween, yet, is it?
'Is it Halloween tonight'?
Have I gone on and overslept—
Have I woken in a terrible dream?

Cause even ten thousand white crested waves
Can't hear my sirens cry wailing
My sirens scream tonight.

Have I danced my last dance with the faes?
I sure can hear the devils not angels at my door.
Humanoid mystical creatures
As a child I once lovingly adored.

Is it Halloween, yes, it is
'It's defiantly, tonight'.
'Is it Halloween tonight'?
I can hear the howling hoots of owls
And those distant, nearing, wolf growls.

'Is it Halloween tonight'?
Have I woken in a terrible dream?
'No, it's just my children playing hide and seek
In my mother's old, patchwork blanket sheet - tonight'.
