The moon laughs and whispers
‘Tis near Halloween. - Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
voices whisper in the trees, tonight is Halloween!” —Dexter Kozen - Time for shivers, scares, and thrills, for pumpkin grins in windowsills, for black cats in the full moon’s glow, and a happy Halloween hello!

strange creatures and critters appear in the night,
as the goblins growl and the werewolves whine,
shivers and chills run up and down your spine! - On Halloween, what bothers some
About these witches, is how come
In sailing, through the air, like bats
They never seem, to lose their hats? —David McCord - There is magic in the night when pumpkins glow by moonlight.

Back to their quiet graves below. —Theodosia Garrison
