Corby-based poet George Stanworth shares two Halloween-themed poems
Here are two Halloween poems by Corby-based poet George Stanworth
October 31st
It moves like the night consuming the day.
It creeps like a cat about to catch prey.
It breathes like a shadow walking behind.
It howls like a werewolf thought in the mind.
It lurks like a zombie noise in the mist.
It welcomes all spirits trapped in abyss.
It's complex and scares us, but let's us have fun.
It cloaks itself 'round us until the day's done.
It's Halloween Again
It's Halloween again, hooray!
I've counted down the time since May.
Why is it only just one day?
It's Halloween again, hooray!
I love to scare the ghosts away,
although they don't exist, some say.
It's Halloween again today.
I've counted down the time since May.
