However many pumpkins sit
Along the pumpkin vine,
The biggest and the roundest one
Is going to be mine.
I'll carve his eyes, a nose, and mouth,
Like no one's ever seen,
Then set him on the window ledge
The eve of Halloween.
He'll celebrate this night of nights,
Atop this special place,
So those who pass beneath his seat
Will see his glowing face.

A few days ago
I walked along the edge
of the lake and was treated
to the crunch and rustle
of leaves
with each step I made
The acoustics of this season
are different and all sounds
no matter
how hushed
are as crisp
as autumn air.

We bought a fat orange pumpkin,
The plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out
and only left the shell.
We carved a funny funny-face
of silly shape and size,
A pointy nose,
a jagged mouth and two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
and we put a candle in,
Then lit it up
for all to see Our jack-o-lantern grin.

Halloween Wish
Author: Nancy Hughes
I'd like to go fishing
for a star
and send it to you
wherever you are...
...to wrap you once more
in the spells of the night
and fill all your senses
with awe and delight.
To make you a pirate
or perhaps a ;
to experience the magic
of Halloween.
To capture again
the mystery and surprise
as can only be seen
through a small child's eyes.

Trick or Treaters
Author: unknown
Sidewalks full of Trick or Treaters,
Lots of little candy eaters,
In their costumes having fun,
Halloween's for everyone.
From door to door the bells are ringing
Knockers, knocking, voices singing,
Children, the old and in between
Celebrating Halloween.
