Halloween! Halloween! Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

Halloween! Halloween!



Ghosts and witches in the sky
Vampires and Draculas in the graves
Bats and fireflies in the air
Zombies and skeletons on the run
Darkness dwells
driven out by light.

Actors in darkness gather
to spread fear on others
Plans for destruction, laid out
in their secret dark domain.

And yet light shines
to reveal the secrets
of death and darkness,
letting the lost Jack
carry a pumpkin of light.
