The night for kids to go door to door asking and getting treats and candy.
Ringing doorbells announcing the arrival of costumed children
In black and orange stockings, the witches cackle out loud
Candy corn is in abundance this year
Kettle corn smells waft through the air
Orange and black are the colors of the day
Red blood, though fake, is splattered here and there
Trunk or treat is the standard way to trick or treat today
Rowdy kids hyper on candy
Eating treats makes them happy
All are in a spooky, festive mood
The kids have costumes of witches, monsters, and superheroes.
