Seasonal Children's Poetry

Halloween Bandits
by Cynthia Williford

Monsters, ghouls and pirates,
pumpkins and candy corn,
this night is full of wondrous sights
that linger until morn.
A cat, a bat, a Princess,
a Spiderman or two,
are roaming through your neighborhood
and calling out to you.
You hastily put on your robe
your wand you take in hand.
And off you venture from your home
to troll about the land.
Your trusty comrades back you
as you fearlessly move forth.
Princess is on your right flank,
Spiderman’s to the North.
You summon up your magic tricks
to barter them for treats,
and woe be unto him that thinks
your treasure he can cheat.
Hours later, tired,
you lay down your weary head,
with hoards of chocolate candy
stashed beneath your downy bed.

Scarecrow's Lament
by Cynthia Williford

Although he tries his hardest,
it really must be said:
it isn’t easy scaring crows
when you have one on your head.
