Excellent ...a Halloween Monchielle My Book of Poems 2010-2017 : They Come Tonight by Mustang Patty Halloween Poetry Contest contest entry

Witches come out tonight, They don't seek sweet candy, It's children they're after, Jealous of their beauty, They hate high-pitched laughter.   Witches come out tonight, Searching with wicked glee, Killing on their warped minds, Children, hardly aware, The lure of candy blinds.   Witches come out tonight, Black robes and pointed hats, On their brooms they fly high, Searching, seeking, the blood, Pounce with blink of an eye.   Witches come out tonight, Don't think your child is safe. No one can be exempt, Crimson blood attracts, Do not let your child tempt.
