Frightful Night
A Halloween poem and a scary song
The witch with a switch
rose up on her broomstick
a silhouette of dread
in the pale moonlight.
A werewolf’s howl close by
and spooks fill the sky.
then the Count
Dracula himself arose
with a blood-red leer
so frightening, so alarming
with hearts pounding
the night of Halloween
*
The witch’s cackle
sounded dark and eerie
over a moonlit cemetery.
It’s Halloween the night of fright
and weird delight!
The skeletons dance
and we all fall into a trance.
Oh! The romance of the unknown
and the werewolf with a snarl
like a fool, began to drool
and in great glee
did cry out
Happy Halloween
to one and all
and a night of frightful delight!

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
