~Halloween~ 

 ~late at night~dark & scary~
  ~a host of goblins~ghosts & fairies~
  ~people the night~a ghastly parade~
~makes one wonder~“Of what are they made?”~
  ~under that face~the cloth of your masque~
  ~“Who are you?” one might ask~
  ~when opening the door~to take a peek~
  ~a bit of courage~not for the meek~
    

~there they are~a ghostly crowd~
  ~pirates~princesses~a faceless shroud~
  ~they shout in chorus,~“Trick or treat!”~
  ~these wand’ring ghouls~want something to eat~
  ~pretend you don’t know them~not even a wink~
  ~for under the masques~eyes that blink~
  ~are the purest pretenders~out on a lark~
  ~beneath each costume~beats a child’s heart~
