Halloween Fright

There’s something eerie lurking about.
Does it walk, does it crawl,
Does it slither around?
The wind rustles the leaves, or was something
Behind me? Is it far, is it near, is it
Sneaking up on me?
My heart pounds ever so fast, as fear trickles
Down my spine. The moon casts shadows on the
Corners and trees, could there be something
Hiding? Waiting to jump out at me?
Screeches and howls- giggles and screams.
Almost to the door,
Nothing is what it seems.
I feel a hand on my shoulder
And let out a scream.
I slowly turn just to see,
And in a sigh of relief...
It's only a group of Trick or Treaters!
Seems the trick was on me!!!!
