The shops are already filling up with all the exciting outfits and disguises for children to enjoy wearing on 31st October.  This poem is an introduction to Hallowe'en which reminds children it is just for fun, and should never be intimidating.

Hallowe'en

 

Pumpkin lanterns full of light

Brightening up the darkening night. 

 

 

Spooks and demons, ghosts galore, 

Coming tonight to knock on your door! 

 

 

Cobwebs and masks, spiders and bats 

Long hooked noses and pointy hats. 

 

 

Witches and wizards out in 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!
