Monst ers sneak underneat h your bed,

While your pillow ?s ?neat h your head.
You wait and yearn for day t o rise,

As scary faces appear in your eyes.
You wear a mask,
To t ake on a t ask.

The collect or wait s wit hin,

A munchy monst er underneat h your skin.
Candy fills t he basket in your hand.

Then you t ravel t o a looney land.
Halloween comes and goes,

But as midnight comes t he monst ers who arose,
Run back int o t he shadows.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Th e Mys t er io us Rider in Th e Nig h t

By Mik e Ma nning Gr a de Eig h t
It was a bit t er cold fall night .
It was like a billion degrees below zero.

Black cat s were roaming t he st reet s.
Full moon was lurking in t he sky.

Screams were echoing t hroughout t he neighborhood.
Appet izing warm bakery t reat s all ready for t he t rick-or-t reat ers.

As I t ake a slow walk t hrough t he woods,
I could hear t he galloping of hooves, but unaware about which direct ion t hey were coming from.
In t he dist ance, I could see a horse wit h a man on it , but no head!

I ran t he ot her direct ion as fast as my legs could t ake me.

As I depart ed t he woods, t he last sound I heard was a snort from t he horse,
and it almost blew my ent ire ear off. It was t hat loud!
Sweat was gushing down t he side of my head.

My heart was beat ing like a million miles an hour.
I was parched. I was so t errified, I went st raight t o bed.

As t he fright ening full moon set , t he spooky Halloween st ory will be cont inued next fall.
