"Since this is the time for goblins and bats
Halloween spirits and ghosts and cats
Weird happenings and witches brew
These are the things that I wish for you
May the only ghost that comes to stay
Be the Holy Ghost to guide your way
May the only spirits you chance to meet
Be the spirit of love and warm friends sweet
These are my Halloween wishes for you
May God bless you in all that you do.
It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.
In masks and gowns
we haunt the street
And knock on doors
for trick or treat.
Tonight we are
the king and queen,
For oh tonight
it's Halloween!
~Jack Prelutsky~
Bushes quiver
where shadows lean,
and not a sliver
of moon is seen.
Near the river
some goblins (red)
with a witch in front
and a ghost in between
Make me sh..i..vvvver,
but I am keen
about the shivers
of Halloween.
~Aileen Fisher~
The witches fly
Across the sky,
The owls go, "Who? Who? Who?"
The black cats yowl
And red ghosts howl,
"Scary Halloween to you!"
~Nina Willis Walter~
A bald-headed ghost
Drank some witches' brew
And on top of his head
A strange thing grew.
It was pointed and tall
And black as a bat
With stringy long hair
Where his head was flat.
The sad little ghost
Didn't want any hair
Or a black pointed hat
So he said, "Witch beware!"
Then he chanted some words
With a spell-casting switch
And gave Halloween Night
A bald-headed witch!!
~Barbara M. Hales~
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog"
"Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing"
"For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and babble"
"Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and caldron bubble"
