Halloween Poems For Kids - Page 2

In the fairy town of Dragonfly Cove, the air is filled with anticipation
For tonight is the town's biggest event, its Halloween celebration

The fairies are up with the first rays of the sun
Decorating and baking, there is much to be done

In the afternoon, they all take a much-needed rest 
Then they will need plenty of time to get dressed

When the stars come out over Dragonfly Hall
The fairies start arriving for the Halloween Ball

They come all decked out in their finest costumes
Bedazzling in flowers and ribbons and plumes

They admire the costumes of every guest
They all have opinions on which one is best

Platters overflow with food, deliciously divine
To be washed down with a glass of gooseberry wine

The band has set up and is playing a lively tune
The fairies dance until morning by the light of the moon

Hobgoblins and spellbinders,
Angels in rags,
Liar or truthteller,
Lacewitch or hag.
Over the gristle bones
Warlocks fights,
Earwigs are flying with
Elfin and sprite.
Now keep me safe this Halloween night!

Halloween is spooky,
Halloween is fun,
Zombies have such pointy teeth,
Ghouls and ghosts have none.

Halloween plays lots of tricks,
Rag dolls lose their stitches,
Unravelling like ancient mummies,
Chased by cackling witches.

Halloween makes eerie noises,
Shrieks and screams abound,
Can you hear the loud footsteps,
Of those no longer around?

Halloween feels scary,
But Halloween is not,
Taste the sweets and tasty treats
From a pumpkin pot.
