I await the hour
the darkest of night.
For under the brightest moon
I venture out to spread doom.
This warning I give.
Beware the wolf’s howl,
the swoosh of the witch’s flight,
and take heed the flutter of the
bats wing.
Listen closely my dear
to the crunch of desiccated
leaves
and the scurry of startled
rodents
for I am as close as you fear.
Listen to the whispers.
Relish the cold.
Let it give you comfort
but remember, I am most bold.
Carry your lantern high
Protect its light.
But walk with haste
and confidence this night.
Just be prepared
To run for your life.
For I am swift
On this most blood thirsty night.
Forget the silver, and holy water
has no sting.
For on All Hallows Eve
the monsters own the night
and it’s evil we bring!
