Halloween is a popular festival that is celebrated by kids and adults. Halloween has always been an interesting even for authors and poets. Authors have drawn various inspirations from the festival over the thousandths of years since its being celebrated. Here are some popular poems and quotes that can be attributed to Halloween.
"Trick or Treat"
Trick or treat,
give me something good to eat.
Crackers, fruit will not do --
give me candy, I want two!
Candy, candy give me four.
Candy, candy I want more!
"Halloween, Halloween"
Halloween Halloween,
dressing up's my favorite thing;
although the next is at my door,
with children coming to explore.
Been waiting for this day all year,
to hear the children laugh and cheer.
Halloween gives me more,
than what I have ever asked for.
Goblins, ghouls, ghosts
which one scares you the most?
Screaming, scratching, slithering;
goblins paving way.
Wiggling, wobbling, warbling;
ghouls chasing strays.
Humming, hissing, hurting;
ghosts coming way.
Which one scares you the most?
One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
~Emily Dickinson
Stir the fire till it lowe
How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!
~George Croly
It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.
In masks and gowns we haunt the street
And knock on doors for trick or treat.
Tonight we are the king and queen,
For tonight it's Halloween!
Jack Prelutsky
Quotes
Ghosts, like ladies, never speak till spoke to.
Richard Harris Barham
Those seemingly interminable dark walks between houses, long before street-lit safety became an issue, were more adrenalizing than the mountains of candy filling the sack. Sadly Halloween, with our good-natured attempts to protect the little ones, from the increasingly dangerous traffic and increasingly sick adults, has become an utter bore.
~Lauren Springer
Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween!"
~Dexter Kozen
There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.
~Joseph Conrad
From ghoulies and ghosties And long-leggedy beasties And things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us!
Scottish Saying
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
George Carlin
