Halloween Poem: Halloween’s a sudden BOO
Halloween’s a sudden BOO!! And just as quick a scream: Laughing in the scary dark, Loving friendly fright. On Halloween, witches come true; Wild ghosts escape from dreams.

Instead, we have become the latest fashion, Cheapened by the sale itself, the prancers Kindled […]
