Troubled Youth [Poem Collection]

Happy Halloween

Creepy skulls painted grey
Pitchforks on stocks
The full moon shines bright
On this night of ghostly fright

Harken the devil's cry.
His monotonous voice;
Our saving grace.
He whispers to the vile,
"Go out and purge."
And out comes his demons
To spill crimson down the streets.

Children put on costumes
Little devils n little monsters
Little skeletons n little witches
Daddy pig n pups on patrol

They scourer the streets
The same streets as the onslaughts
In search of sugar bearing candy
To trick those who aren't merry.
It was the usual trick or treat

But something went wrong that night
Before the clock struck twelve
All the little devils,
All the little monsters,
All the little skeletons
Pigs and even the pups
All ran home
All but one.

The little witch, no older than four
Never ever came home
That Halloween night
The witch wasn't at friends
Nor at daddy pig's house
The witch wasn't even at school
The very next day

No the lil witch was in a ditch
Left on the side of the street
Covered in mud and dirt
Skin barely on exposed bones
Discovered by the pups on patrol
Five months after
That Halloween night
