Position:Home>Poetry> Childish expectations, anticipations, where will it lead ?Question: Childish expectations, anticipations, where will it lead !? Minister Bob chides, decries, our annual festival, his wife, smiling and encouraging, socks his arm!. Uptight, upright deacons arrive with their brood, absolutely nothing will damp down this festive mood!. October celebration of ghostlies and witchlies, decorations complete, anticipation soaring!. Black hatted witch riding worn, gnarled broom, beady eye monsters flit within wispy foggy gloom ! Witchy witch black cats arching, claws digging, hissing, shadows of bats, all sorts, swooping blindly in flight!. Flickering candles, collection of carved pumpkins indeed, childish expectations, anticipations, where will it lead !? Hay ride loading, horses stamping, frosty chill, over quiet fields, ramshackle barn we arrive!. Ghostly forms billowing high, skeletal trees, fiendish drooling faces appear, help me please ! Tunneled mazes through stacked hay we dare, crawling low, warm drops landing from overhead!. Catsup bloodstains around, goop piled upon the floor, could you really want to see or feel anything more !? Overgrown graveyard welcomes with hooded flickering light, apparitions rising and sliding, wheezy blowing breath escapes!. Slimy snoot, yellow slitted eyes, wild fuzzy green hair, children with our imagination stoked, so easy to scare ! Yellow moon rising, owls call, mystery lurks when riding back, holding hands, eyes darting about this frosty Autumn night!. Strange creaking’s perceived, still heard, yet naught seen, thus, the simple, prankish joys of my childhood Halloween!.
