Poem: Halloween by Sylvia Partridge
Published Date:
09 October 2008
Poets' Corner in Saturday's ET is one of our most popular features. To celebrate National Poetry day, here's a selection of some of the great poems we are sent every week:
Halloween
Witches and wizards and midnight blue sky
Black velvet hats and broomsticks that fly
Potions with snake skins, bat wings and toads
A gingerbread cottage at the end of the road
Magical mysteries and warlocks of old
Black cats, horseshoes and tall tales told
Moonbeams, starshine and a handful of spells
Black or white magic and fortunes to tell
Clouds cloak the moon, the wind softly sighs
Barn Owls watch with large saucer eyes
Halloween lanterns and will'o the wisp
Autumn leaves under foot golden and crisp
Fairies, elves and wee garden gnomes
Rickety gates and candlelight homes
Cauldrons and covens and old witches brew
A Halloween night for me and for you
Sylvia Partridge
Eyebury Road,
Eye,
