H A L L O W E E N Oct.31st: Legions Of Evil[ Helloween Fun In Northern California; Short ] Comments

Bri, this is phenomenal. The first stanza reminds me of Poe. Much of the rest of the poem takes me back to toddler years. Now I'll place this verse among myfavourites!

An interesting write about American trick or treat night, which some here in Britland now call extortion night? Because it is frequently heard Candy or your car/ windows get egged by those lovely little mischievous devils called children? What ever happened to duck apple on a string night? And roasting chestnuts on a fire? They were the good old days when you could go out of your home and leave the door open without worrying about ever being robbed.

Beautiful poem. I have been there in Port Charlotte, Florida at my sister's house during Halloween. It was a great experience seeing houses with innumerable carved pumpkins and grotesque Halloween decorations. Children and grown ups came in groups dressed as witches, ghouls and monsters. My sister had to open cartons of sweets to give away to each. This poem has revived all those memories in me.

To darkness, demons, ghosts or witches most children fear as they read them in fairy tales.This festival, I think, is a way to meet those scariest characters in a positive way and to drive out those fears from our mind.To roam in the night, meeting neighbours and strangers , may make them familiar with the people staying in neighbourhood.

I hope , both children and adults must be enjoying this festival. I know about this festival from news, stories and your poems.How did this festival originate?

O my my! The Halloween festivity of fun and fright! Dressed up in all weird shapes, costumes and colours, They spell horror or evil. The scowls, howls and growls does produce an eerie sensation. I always wondered how children were attracted to this scary festival. I cannot think of better poem on Halloween than written by Bri. I have reserved a candy for you Bri.

Happy Halloween. I am just waiting for doorbells to ring! This is one of my favorite festival. Today it is coinciding with one of NorthIndian festival celebrated for the welfare of children. Enjoyed your poem.

Beautiful Halloween poem in colorful attire. Fantastic rhyming. Happy Halloween. Last year I was there in Seattle for Halloween. It was an unforgettable evening on the streets. (10)

Well done Bri, I appreciated it very much. In the USSR Helloween was never celebrated. We heard of it and it was understood as something bad and not desirable here. Sort of dancing witches. Since the destruction of the USSR and the restructure, our new Russian rulers adopted this day celebration here.

Bri, Enjoyed your poem! ! I rate a 10. Here in Utah, Halloween is suppose to be a cold, rainy night.

Australians call candy lolly, Bri.
