Here are some of your Halloween poems:

Maxima

     Pumpkin lanterns full of light,

     Such a freak at 12 o’clock sight.

     Spooky zombies try to roar,

     Coming tonight to knock on your door!

     Spider webs and masks,

     Spiders and bats,

     Long straight noses and pointy hats.

     Witches and wizards out on the street,

     Knock on your door for a trick or treat.

     When the moon is high and the day is done,

     Open your door and have some fun!!!

Halloween  is here lets go to a house, but I Don't mean an ordinary house I mean a haunted house. Where there are skeleton's and things that are too scary to imagine .

 If you see them you might pea on your pants cause of fright.

Thing that you will see will take you to a different sight.

 So you will have really unforgettable night.

Arthur

Happy Halloween trick-or-treaters

Alarming moaning from haunted houses

Lanterns glowing

Lovely sweets

Weird zombies

Eyeballs popping out of skulls

Excellent costumes

Nightmares when you go to sleep

Lot’s of nightmare’s.

Owls stay up for Halloween night .

Whiskered black cats  are good for Halloween decorations.

Eerie people are freaked out.

Nasty costumes looks weird.
