Shrieks and Scares

Author's Note: A couple weeks ago, the weather was really stormy and spooky at my soccer practice, so I decided to write this for Halloween.

The trees shake

Their dead branches rattle,

to the melody of the witches' cackles 

As they prepare their potions for Halloween night.

The eerie clouds stir restlessly, the wind howls like a were wolf

Bats fly across the dark sky

You stand their, smaller than you could ever imagine

While the world wakes, ready for Halloween Night

Black leaves blow off trees, and shadows creeping up from everywhere

Then the monsters, the goblins, the ghosts, the witches

Vampires, old mummies, and spiders appeared

They slowly drift closer, and closer

The closer they come, the faster your heart pounds

Step, pound, step, pound, step, pound

They're here on Halloween.

They have waited all year to haunt, to give others shrieks and scares.
