If I Was
‘Cause it’s HALLOWEEN! A Halloween Poem
By Jo Ann Gilbert Stover
If I was a ghost
Would I cause you great fright
If I crept up behind you
And yelled BOO! In the night?
If I was a black cat
Back arched and teeth bared
Would my loud YEOWW!
Cause you to be scared?
If I was a witch
Flying moonlit nights on my broom
Would my cackling laugh
Bring you horrible gloom?
Would a vampire bat
With teeth bared and bloody
Scare you to death
Or at least frighten your body?
Do Jack O’ Lanterns
Grinning on a fence post
Make you shiver and quiver
Thinking it might be a ghost?
Or
Whenever October 31st
Comes on the scene
Do you revel like the devil
Bored to Death
By Jo Ann Gilbert Stover
The walking dead
Werewolves and ghosts
Vampires and witches
Jack O’ Lanterns on posts
Weird scary music
Filling the air
Blood on the moon
Giving everyone a scare
But here I sit bored
In front of my TV screen
Watching everyone else having fun
On this Halloween
