Around Another Corner
October 26, 2009
Written by: Rose Marie Rideout

Do you see them as they get nearer,
Do you hear them, what a shrill noise,
Can you feel them, their breath so close,
No but you shiver at the thoughts of a ghost.

Can you see the shadow, getting closer,

Do you feel the coolness of death,
Can you hear the crispness in the air,
Just around another corner is another scare.

They all come out this time of year,
Dressed in costumes, good and bad,
They all want to enjoy their Halloween night,
Some get nervous with a ghostly fright.

There are withches, ghosts and clowns,

old men and ranchy ladies of the night,
Angels, devils and doctors too,
Mad savage animals to mention a few.

Best stock up on Halloween treats,
For the good and the bad out roaming the streets,
Best have something when they scream out “Trick or Treat”
You’ll never know what’s around another corner to meet.

Halloween another special time of the year,
When children of all ages dress up to scare,
Laughing and loving every minute of the night,
As they themselves get the biggest fright.

Graveyards seem to come alive,
Everyone takes on a different personality,
As we look at each person passing by,
To see if this is a costume or a reality.
