I want, I want, I want

CC&P

Muuuum, I want a party, with trick or treat and games
I want sweets, chocolates, crisps, fizzy pop and scary sounds
Do we HAVE to get the bargain bucket tape of creepy music
Can't we get this one by KoRn it's only thirteen pounds

But I don't want to make my costume, Joe's is always better
I want an expensive one not some cheapy one from asda
NO! like the one off T.V that Johnny depp wears at the end
It's not fair, jess gets EVERYTHING! Her mum actually spends

NO james can’t come, he always ruin’s my parties
I HATE YOU, He gets everything, you love him more than me
If you really loved me, you’d buy me the NEWEST pumpkin
Not some rubbish, crappy one you bought out in the country

I want, I want, I want, I want, Much more people to come
Can’t you and Dad go out, GOD, you’re such a rubbish Mum
You’re always really boring, this parties gonna suck
I don’t care how much it costs I couldn’t give a F***

So let’s buy some more coke, jeez, we’ve only got 5 bottles
AND you forgot the candles, you have to get them NOW
“Hello everyone come in, come in, welcome to our party”
(And later on that night) I'M NOT WASHING UP YOU COW

*From the point of view of a spoilt..well...brat*

Come Dance with the Night
CC&P

~*~ Come Dance with the Night ~*~

Night owl hoots, hidden in the darkest tree
shadows dance, far as the eye can see
shades lurking in corners, crawling on walls
come dance with the the night, a voice calls

Trees shrubs quiver in a frigid air
naked tree limbs crackle, beware
little ghosts roam the streets tonight
while, a witch stirs her brew of fright

Werewolves howl to a silver moon
zombies march to an eerie tune
spider-man hides under Autumn leaves
spinning a web to catch masked thieves

Tiny bodies shiver with spooky chills
spiders creep on haunted house sills
streets cover over with a pea soup fog
as a princess kisses a croaking frog

Costumes, in search of trick-or-treats
vampires sinking teeth into candy sweets
candy bags loaded with sugar coated treasure
kiddies happy with this Halloween's, pleasure

Bill Turner
Trick or Treat
CC&P Rules!

Trick or Treat

Bang your head blaring on the speakers
Chill of fall lingering in the air
Oh look! Another group of streakers
They should really trim their hair

Bush…someone in a George W mask
Rambling on about nukes and Iran
There goes a Hillary holding him to task
Rambling on like so much spam in a can

Another Halloween night in my little town
Hallucinogenics in the water today
There goes the mayor dressed like kinko the clown
Come morning it will all be okay

Tonight you should lock it up tight
Be careful with that special candy
Something does not feel right
The houses are melting, just dandy

Ghosts and goblins running everywhere
Looking down upon them at the door
One more of these and I will no longer care
Fantasia stickers make my vision so poor

Screams from deep in the night
People demanding to be let go
Is that a mirror…what a sight
Was it real or a dream, I do not know!

Sarah Ann
"Every Day Is Halloween"
CC&P

Masks and scary faces
All blooming in the dark
Perpetual fear overcomes me as they walk
From house to house
Deceiving all who pass their way
Just as they do most everyday

Halloween.
It is no different tonight
I watch with great indifference
People go about their business
And each mask illuminates the night
Children watch and cringe in endless fright

Everyone hides. Behind layers of clothes
Behind satin and masks of gold
Alas, they do this all the time
Cunningly pure to those so blind
Tonight, there is no contrast

And for me, every day is Halloween

Kim Knight
'Halloween Kiss'
CC&P

Shadows cling to the forest
Draining the world of every hue
Light from the wavering crescent moon
Amongst the treetops filters through

She walks along the darkened path
As cobwebs blind her eyes
Desperate to escape this trap
Afraid of her own demise

As wolves howl in the background
Branches and roots menacingly loom
A taste of fear permeates the air
Shrouded in an aura of gloom

Crunching footsteps make her suddenly turn
As a figure creeps into sight
A man cloaked in beauty and red
Walking gracefully in the night

Come with me he whispers softly
Extends a comforting hand
Trembling with terror she turns and she runs
Into the arms of this Saviour, this man

The fog it writhes around the figure
As he tilts his head back with bliss
Sharpened fangs gleam in the night
As he delivers a Halloween kiss

Misstress
"Bag full of sweets"
EOP

On ebonize clouds a full moon rest
Awaiting the tolls of midnight
For the long Hallows Eve feast.
All arise! The bells are howling
Can you hear it, their hearts are thumping
March everyone! march with delight

Put on your fangs, wings and fright
Witches together, yowl those chants
I see now ghosts and goblins seeping out,
From haunted houses all about
Snarl and roar! All forces advance

Bang their doors, devour all their sweets
In every houses, different corners and streets
Ghouls and zombies do dare to creep
If they dont give candies, dont forget to weep
A Happy Halloween is all that we wanted to meet
And of course, our bags overflowing with sweets

Creatures At My Door [How to Make A Witch Beautiful]
EOP [rocks]

I hear the knock of little fingers
I cackle with such glee
Because they've come this dark night
To gather up some treats.
I didn't have to brew a potion
Or sing a lovely tune
They've gathered there outside my door
Hastened by the moon.
Their bags of goodies I will take
As I lead them all inside
Then I'll lock them in my cellar
Before I skin their hides.
Their flesh will burn in my ovens
Their breath will give me life
And their voices lend me treasures
Replacing my screeching cries.
I wring my gnarled hands with greed
As these thoughts invade my mind
I slowly walk to the door
And throw it open wide.
Where are the children, where have they gone
they were here I know
I'm sure I heard them knocking
Just a minute ago.
I look at the clock in the hall
I see I have lost track
The time has ticked away again
And the kids won't be back
Another year of waiting
For a most perfect scene
But I got lost in my thoughts
Which happens a lot, it seems
Now I must wait another year
You may think I'm crazy
Brew a potion, sing a song
But this old witch is lazy.

Fright Night
CC&P

Cool breezes blow
Through my window this night
Sending shivers down my spine
It's an evening of fright

Ghouls and goblins
Frequent my door
Looking for sweets
Oh no, here comes some more

When will it end?
I'm almost out of treats
What else can I give
The numerous monsters I meet

Darkness of the night
Howls and screams I hear
Makes the night so scary
As witches and ghosts appear

The sun will soon rise
To chase them all away
They'll go home to eat
Their spoils of today

Bogie
Halloween
CC&P

As the light of the summer ends
Were the dark of winter begins
The first full moon near November
And the final harvest marker

A sent shadow world warrior
Lowered opens the barrier
As the dead enter the living
Like deceased souls revisiting

And the masks and Jack-o-lantern
Trick bad spirits to run and turn
Beggars are going door to door
Exchanging prayers for treats and more

A celebration once for the dead
Now celebrate the living instead
A 2000-year-old routine
Is today seen as Halloween

Hallows' Eve
EOP

The harvest moon shone bright through his ratty blinds
As from outside his window, he heard talk of all kinds.
His eyes shot open as he stood in the darkened room
It was that time of year again, where was his costume?
With raven black hair slicked across his one eye
He lifted on the cape, as he gazed to the murky sky.
The streets were damp as children ran from door to door
Looking upon them as his urges let out a silenced roar.
The street lights shone down through his icy eyes
As Ambikas' tears chanted a tragic lullaby.
Footsteps stalked carefully as hearts crumbled in fright
From a cold hand cupped over her mouth so tight.
He laid her body down on the hardened forest floor
But her whimpers he gladly chose to ignore.
He leaned in close as his breath dampened her neck
Two fingers set lightly on top, for a pulse he did check.
As his fangs pierced her skin she let out a childs' cry
Ambikas' body fell, as he shuddered her good-bye.
Red and blue glistened off the dampened street Hallows eve
Searching for a child, as he wiped her blood onto his sleeve.

Red-Rose
Bloodied Fangs
[EOP]

The frost chilled the air
And no moon shone that night
The smell of blood upon them
As they entered door to door

Had one even noticed
Latika had disappeared
Then maybe they would have heard
Sagara’s muffled screams

Ghosts and goblins
Witches and mummies
One would never expect
The vampyress’ long fanged teeth

Their capes had hid their face
As they vanished in the night
Scrambled to the forest
The forest of nature’s doom

Latika and Sagara felt as they pierced
Right into their neck, to have their yearly feast
Oh had the children heard their cries
Maybe the feast would finish

There they laid lifeless
As the other’s ate their candy
The vampyress showed her blood-filled fangs
For another hallow’s feast fleshed out

Halloween Treats [Acrostic]
by ♥ .J.є.ѕ.ѕ.у. ♥
{EOP}

Hunting down sugar, craving those colored sweets
Accepting any kind, emptying all into paper bags
Loving every moment, running around in the streets
Looking almost evil in their fake witch hats and rags
Opening doors to noisy children yelling "Trick or Treat"
Werewolves howling continuously at the bright full moon
Every child happily gazing into their bag and starting to eat
Evening coming to an end, the aftereffects they will feel soon
Never forget that tonight is the night, Halloween is in sight

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each
line spells a word, usually using the same
words as in the title.

^ Now who said there was no wisdom in comedy. Very cute, Bob. Was going to go comment on it in your poems, but you haven't posted it there yet.

Halloween Night
By: •Burger~Queen•
EOP

The creepy crawly truths,
Of trick or treat,
Come out in forms of children,
Wandering the street,

Not-so-inocent eyes glaring,
Searching for the sweet candies,
For they are so much more adictive,
Than all of the brandies.

Survival of the fittest,
Or so it seems to the un-trained eye,
But in this game of eat or starve,
It involves a sugar high.

The life or death game,
To get the sweets,
Is much worth,
Eating the delectable treats.

The next morning,
The kids awake,
Only to find the worst,
Tummy ake.

Until next year,
These terrors will stay,
Waiting for halloween,
To come out and play.

I emailed them all to Ann Marie... Good Luck everyone!
