HALLOWEEN POEMS

Read our Halloween poems to get you in the spirit of celebrating this ghoulish night.

Decorate your yard and play dress up with the whole family. A fun time for parents and children alike. Don't forget the bowl of candy for all the trick or treaters in the neighbourhood.

Halloween Party

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

By the moon we gather here,
To celebrate this time of year.

When witches fly and the dead arise,
The zombies moan with glowing eyes.

We gather round the pumpkin's light,
And party long into the night.

Witches brew and bat wing stew,
Come taste our punch and cupcakes too.

So disguise yourself and your better half,
Come round about seven for many a laugh.

We will party long into the night,
'Til all are blessed with second sight.

We have hand picked a selection of the best poems about Halloween.

Happy Halloween

Lock your doors...
and turn out the lights,

Or ghosts and goblins
will spook you with fright!

Jump in the bed the pull
the covers up tight,

Close your eyes until
the morning is light.

It's Halloween

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 gown we haunt the street
And knock on doors for trick or treat
Tonight we are the King and Queen
For Oh tonight
It's Halloween!

~ Jack Prelutsky

Halloween Spooks

There's a goblin at my window
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
'Til they dressed for Halloween

~ Sandra Liatsos

The Night of Halloween

The Harvest moon fills the sky
A wicked witch goes flying by
Ghosts and goblins.. skeletons too
Moaning and groaning, waiting for you
Black cats prowl the graveyard plots
Witches cook in cauldron pots
Cemetry ghouls roam the ground
Not one unopened grave is found
Tombstones are an eerie sight
Shadows dance in full moon light
The haunted house on the hill
Walk in there and you get a chill
Jack-o-Lanterns eyes so bright
Trick or Treaters scream in fright
It's a time like you've never seen
Tonight's the night of Halloween

The Hearse Song

Don't you ever laugh when the hearse goes by,
For you may be the next to die.

They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet

They put you in a big black box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks.

All goes well for about a week,
Then your coffin begins to leak.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play ping pong on your snout.

They eat your eyes, they eat your nose.
They eat the jelly between your toes.

A big green worm with rolling eyes
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes.

Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.

You spread it on a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat when you are dead.


What's the scariest part about Halloween as an adult?
Being left alone with a giant bowl of Reese's peanut butter cups
