One Halloween Night
by Michael J. Smajda Never again on a Halloween night Will I ever go near a graveyard site. For when last I did, this is what I saw Zombie-like creatures, large and small, Ascending from their graves, one by one, Moaning and groaning in unison, Wandering about like flocks of blind sheep, Relieved to be awakened from years of dead sleep. Having never seen corpses upright before, Much less, decomposed, I viewed them in horror. And seeing skeletons still wearing their coffin best, Did very little ...Pumpkin Halloween
Author Unknown Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. The first one said, "My it's getting late." The second one said, "There are witches in the air." The third one said, "But we don't care!" The fourth one said, "Lets run, lets run." The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun." Ooooooo went the wind, Out went the lights And five little pumpkins went Rolling out of sight.

By Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-- While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-- Only this and nothing more." Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; --vainly I had sought to ...The Raven - An Analysis
An Analysis of Poe's Work "Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quote from the Raven, "Nevermore." The above quote from "The Raven" may well been seen as prophetic. With the publishing of this poem in 1845, Poe's life would be forever connected to these dark, clever birds. He was quickly himself dubbed "the Raven" by his contemporaries, and there's some evidence suggesting he may have even reveled in ...Halloween
By Dr. Jeanne Keyes Youngson Baxter looked out his bedroom window at the street below. No kids in sight. Probably still eating supper, he thought. Turning to admire his costume, which was carefully laid out on the bed, he smoothed the red satin lining of the cape with his fingertips. He grinned from ear to ear thinking of the treats he was going to have later. He leaned over, picked up a set of plastic fangs from ...
