It isn't Halloween, yet, is it? <br />'Is it Halloween tonight'? <br />Have I gone on and over slept— <br />Have I woken in a terrible dream? <br /> <br />Cause even ten thousand white crested waves <br />Can't hear my sirens cry wailing <br />My sirens scream tonight. <br /> <br />Have I danced my last dance with the faes? <br />I sure can hear the devils not angels at my door. <br />Humanoid mystical creatures <br />As a child I once lovingly adored. <br /> <br />Is it Halloween, yes, it is <br />'It's defiantly, tonight'. <br />'Is it Halloween tonight'? <br />I can hear the howling hoots of owls <br />And those distant, nearing, wolf growls. <br /> <br />'Is it Halloween tonight'? <br />Have I woken in a terrible dream? <br />'No, it's just my children playing hide and seek <br />In my mother's old, patchwork blanket sheet - tonight'.<br /><br />Mark Heathcote<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-it-halloween-tonight/
