Thank you to everyone who participated in our two annual E-Cards Halloween Poetry contests! We had a lot of fun reading every piece, and hope the writers enjoyed creating them. All of the poems that we read were horrifyingly good, and they all now rest in peace below. So, please scroll down to read the spine-tingling poetry we received...if you dare!
While the children are
trick-or-treating,
the parents are passing out candy,
and the vampires are watching,
for something to eat.
The goblins are waiting for you to dress up,
and have fun,
so they can give you a scare,
'tis Halloween,
and you must prepare,
for the scaries and huntings to arise,
to give you a suprise,
and the vampires,
to bite you,
and the witches to boil you,
and all this to say "HAPPY HALLOWEEN. HEHEHE"
The time has come, 'Tis Hallow's Eve
A night the mortals fear and dread
for in this unholiest time of year
the ghouls come out to wake the dead.
Ghostly howls pierce the night
Wolves are baying with delight
Witches brewing, what a sight!
and mortals shaking in their beds.
'Tis not the children who are afraid
they fill the streets in great parade
For this night, too, belongs to them
a night when silly tricks are played
and gathering such wonderous treats
a night when they can misbehave.
The mortals do not dare to sleep
for ghosts and ghouls do dare to creep
and reach to tickle napes of necks
with clammy hands and icy breath...
So stay awake, don't close your eyes
keep holy artifacts nearby
Beg the Saints for sweet reprieve
On creepy, scary Hallow's Eve
--Halloween Night--
Moonlight eyes,
And face of white,
Scared to death,
On Halloween Night.
Bloodshot eyes,
And face of blue,
This young man,
Is scared stiff too.
Vampires strike
And werewolves howl,
The air is haunted,
With hoots of an owl.
Only one hour left,
You think in fear,
In only one hour,
Morn will be here.
Trick or treat halloween is here
Ghosts and goblins you may fear
Pumpkin patches stripped away
For this spooky halloween day!
Dressed up scary for the night
Give your neighbors a terrible fright
Have a party join the fun
Halloween day has just begun!
This is our poem for halloween day
Our advice is stay away!!!!!!!!!!
--GHOSTS--
You've waited all year
and now the time is near.
So grab all your gear
and head on out,
cause all the ghosts
have come to shout!!
Halloween, oh no it's come to fast,
witches and Ghouls back out at last
Haunted houses trick or treating or egging homes
oh no, oh no you cant be left alone
Scary movies, pranksters and frightening masks
I hope Halloween comes and goes really fast
To scared to talk, to scared to move
some one out there help me, I don't no what to do
don't say I never warned you of this halloween night
if a ghoul comes at you put up a fight
one more last thing to say to all of you
Happy Halloween and a frightening good night!
--Halloween Night--
It's Halloween night, it's such a fright.
All them scary things, makes your ears ring.
You wanna go home, but your all ALONE!
Could it be......?
It's just me!
You laugh with fright, I guess it's not a scary night.
Spooky...

Meow!
I saw three black cats no orange hats,
Meow!
I saw three black cats fleeing black bats,
Meow!
I saw three black cats being chased by fat rats,
Meow!
On Halloween night
that's when everybody gets a fright,
that's when kids go door to door
and witches like to soar
when ghosts spook around,
and people are nowhere to be found
when vampires turn into bats
and you hear the meow of cats
........ or you just might want to
stay home on Halloween night
--The Boneyard Rap--
This is the rhythm of the boneyard rap,
knuckle bones click and hand bones clap,
finger bones flick and thigh bones slap,
when you're doing the rhythm of the boneyard rap.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!
In the haunted house up on the hill,
Lives a goblin who's name is Jill.
She has one eye and creeps around.
Not even to make one little sound.
She is quite hairy and very scary.
So be sure to not step foot inside her door.
For you will be seen never more.
--Halloween Night--
The wind is moaning this moonlight night
Ready to give you a creepy fright!
Vampires are waiting for a tasty treat
Ready to suck all the blood they can eat!
Dressed up in costumes give your neighbors a scare!
Lurking in the shadows are goblins.... beware!!!
Trick-or-treat, they open the door
Candies and pumpkins and munchies galore
What treats could the next house have in store?
I'm tired, I'm frightened....but, please give me more!!!
On halloween night,
I get such a fright.
When I get a big scare,
I yell whos there.
I hear a big boo,
then it turnes to a hoo,
Then I hear a big scream,
but it's all just a dream!
The scariest day of the year
we've waited and waited
bought our costumes, fixed our hair
trick or teated to get our sweets
screamed and yelled BOO to scare
screaming and yelling becouse we were scared
it's far into the night and you're scared to death
ready to go home to be safe in your beds
all snuggled up in your blankets and warm
listeing to the spooky sounds of the night
as your drifting to sleep, on Halloween night!
Ghosts and goblins seeping out,
From haunted houses all about.
Witches, vampires, devils too,
Stirring bats into Blubber Stew.
Children dressing up once more,
To go Trick or Treating at somebody's door.
Some give candy, some give more,
Some just bang their wooden door.
Spooks are watching, just for you,
So you be careful what you do.
Make sure not to catch a fright,
On this blood-curdling Halloween night
AAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ghosts and goblins dressed in white
creeping around on Halloween night
monsters, angels, witches too
clowns with faces colored blue
black cats walking all around
candy droppings on the ground
house to house kids do go
back and forth to and frough
you will get freaky frights
when you go out on Halloween nights.
Halloween's here
Halloween's here
It's a scariful time of year
Black as night
Red, orange, white
Halloween colors here to fright
Pumpkin patches
Witches cackles
Goosebumps on your back like scratches
Ghosts are 'round

All just waiting to say to you
"Boo!!!"
Ghost and goblins feeling scared
Shivers come be very aware
Creepy Crawlers up your back
Be careful because you may be the last.
Bats witches here they all come. I am frozen and my fingers are numb.
I hear screaming kids crying for help. I stand still then I see,
Skeletons and zombies coming over to me. I panic in fear.
I've got know where to go dash off as fast as I can.
I run and I run then I wake up.
It was all a dream of the scariest time on Halloween.
This is the night for witches and goblins to come out to give a fright.
All the children in the town dressed as devils, hippies and clowns.
The witches are stirring the night before getting ready to make candy corn.
The goblins and ghosts getting ready to scare making it look they came out of thin air.
So, beware on that nigh that they don't give you a fright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Halloween is witches flying through the night giving us a scare,
Oh, no, I`m really scared ghosts and ghouls flying through the night,
O' they give me such a fright.
I love you I love me
that is all you see you see
soooo be careful this halloween night
for you might be a fright
don't let the ghost scare you
just be warned for them to come out and yell BOO!!!!
Darkest of ebon in which the moon rests
The courage of all is put to the test
The silent breath of the dead, and the minions o the night
All arise on the endless eve, giving all creatures a gruesome fright
A ring of the bell and the young give a cheerful greet
To ask all people to place in their bags a scrumptious treat
But when an erie yowl meets an ear
And all the streets are dark but cleared
Who then will you ask when all are gone
For something good, it won't be long
Till you find yourself consumed by fear
Until it forces up a tear
You make it home, up to your room
Devour your sweets yet soon, soon...
You're still alone and very scared
For you have wondered where no one's dared
Await the toll of midnight to come
Then afterward, it'll be all done
When the demons of the depth have gone far and wide
For fear of being touched by heaven's eye.
It's Halloween!
The lamp is lit around the fire
We children sit telling ghost stories,
Bit by bit til sister Jane says:
"hush.............."
What's that a creeping on the bedroom floor
What's that a creeping on the kitchen floor its a a a a
GOBLIN.
It's Halloween, and it's so ccccrrrreeeeepppyyy.
You hear the crows saying caw caw
And the dead rising from the ground
If you see a full moon, it looks like a big eye.
Hey, what's that a witch
With out no feet. So watch out!
You might be watched be careful.
hahahahhahahhahahhahahaha.
Halloween rules
A day/night four kids to get candy.
Lots of candy and costumes.
Lots of scary and funny looking people.
Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone is trying to scare me
We're scared of little monsters.
Eww, that's a gross costume .
I think you should get the scariest costume award.
Eee, there's a mouse costume.
Now that's scary.
Spooky haunting through the night.
All that's there is much much fright.
Tricker treating is much fun
only if there's no sun.
Ghouls and Monsters
Witches and Ghosts.
Treats and spooks!!!
It all comes down to one
thing... HALLOWEEN!
Everybody, everywhere
Comes to breathe the clean, fine air.
But, all is not well,
It's not hard to see,
The town has run out of candy.
We worry, we fret,
We jump up and down, trying to think of a solution.
We stomp, we yell, we somersault,
This malfunction is nobody's fault.
Things are disastrous, we're all in despair
Then all of the sudden, "Ah-ha! I've got it!"
Someone had an idea.
I do think it's right, so with all of our might,
we shall look for clues! There's a trail
of wrappers.....leading right to Michael!
The night is clear at the time like this,
My spine, a shiver,
Leap a lizard
Oh, good it be a ghost ......boo!
Today's the day of trick-or-treating
When children come for candy
They dress up in silly costumes
to be the best of all.
They all hear a noise that said quite creepy
But when they looked it was the "Died Sleeping Beauty"
The children were all soo frighten they run far away but
all long it was their mothers that wanted to say
"HAPPY HALLOWEEN"
We bring death from far And near
Through thunder, lightening, but no fear,
When we've got the child in sight,
We'll give them an awful FRIGHT!!
Witches come from far and near
To witness this law breaking spell
Can you smell the spell? Welln do not fear my Child,
We're not using you for a while!! Ha!Ha!Ha!!!!!
It creeps into your window and into your bed,
It goes through you and into your head,
It controls your body, it controls your mind
it controls the rest of your head,
and the Ghost says, "HA HA you're dead!"
Come in this house, if you dare
Your going to be in a quite scare
Oh look it's Mrs. Hay
What did you say
Is she a witch
A sound of a twitch
Oh, too bad she turned you into a black cat
For i was going to eat you and turn you into a bat.
When your running in the night
You will get quite a fright.
When it's time for trick or treat
You will get much to eat.
IT'S HALLOWEEN
Goblins, alley-cats, witches on brooms.
Things in the trees singing scary tunes.
These are the things that are heard and seen,
On the very night of Halloween!
One night I saw a monster, a witch and goblin
all walking side by side. They were talking.
I got curious and followed them, they went up
to a house with all lights on and said,
"TRICK OR TREAT!"
When halloween comes trick or treaters are here.
Spooky ghosts coming forward at you.
Sleeping at night with chills all around.
Hearing whispers all near.
Halloween night is almost here
So watch out because ghosts are near.
The ghosts make me shiver.
Spiders make me quiver
Halloween is number one.
I think it is really fun.
When we go out on halloween.
Ghosts and goblins shout trick or treat.
As spiders crawl up your spine
you call out help!
Or maybe you be just fine.
Or you'll yelp
bats fly through your hair
and it will be such a scar
but you know you'll be fine
maybe with a lil wine
all these things could happen soon
as Halloween approaches
BOO!!!
H-aunted houses
A-ll Hallows Eve
L-ighted bonfires
L-anterns glowing
O-ctober night
W-itches on broomsticks
E-ager children wanting candy
E-dgar Allen Poe
N-ewts tails
Jack-o-Lanterns sit on peoples' porches.
While devils pass by with flaming torches.
The witch rides by
Cackle, cackle, cackle,
While mummies
Wrestle, tackle, tackle.
Vampires go around showing their fangs,
While black cats fall off of their broomsticks
With a bang
Frightening creatures are the queens of Halloween.
Watch for the witches in the middle of the night
They move around sure to fright.
Oh no! Here they come!
Here this will stop them!
I sure hope you are right!!
In the forest of every night
You go in and get a fright.
But tonight is different. It ain't that scary
Because you think they're really hairy.
But your wrong, they went to school.
They are the frightening Goblins and Ghouls!
They invite you to the woods to see Jeff Hardy
But you're in for a surprise! It's a tea party!!!!!
Now your friends and you dance all night
WOW! That wasn't really a fright!!!!!
Pumpkins are orange
Goblins are green
Black kittens are sweet
But ghosts make me scream!
Werewolf fur and vampire cape,
Ghostly figures with no shape,
Sweat and shiver,
Scream and quiver
Halloween is on its way.
Boys and girls all out to scare,
They’re dressed up with wicked hair,
They trick and treat,
Giggle and eat,
Halloween is on its way.
Our spooky fright night is here,
There are some who laugh and jeer,
The moon comes out,
We scream and shout,
Halloween is here at last.
During Halloween you may hear very scary noises and creeepy things may apear!
But, you can't be scared already - the fun has just started!!
Ghosts and goblins they'll apear! Don't be scared....
AH! never mind they have spears!! oooohhh! ooooohhhh! oooooohhhhh!
AH! Black cats they trick your mind into thinking their just blind!
But if you get to close..........OUCH!
It's Halloween night and the wind is blowing,
The leaves are wrustling around the lawn,
The witches are getting ready for their big Halloween spells,
The ghosts are flying around giving people a scare,
The vampires are finding things to dine on,
The children are dressed up ready to go,
For they have a whole night of trick or treating soon to come,
Later the moon glows and the children are tucked in bed,
Visioning all the sweet candy they will have to eat in days to come
The big moon is full
Kids are going door to door
A lot of candy
So many costumes
Trick or Treat
A ghost knows how to give a toast
But most ghost like to ask the host
And after they have a yummy eye ball roast
They like to boast, boast, boast
And put there name on a metal post
And send it to the coast.
Ghosts and Goblins haunt the night.
Shivers and creepy crawlers crawl on your back.
See the vampires, see the Bats
Creepy sounds glare on the streets.
Looking up to see the witch,
She cackles with a single twitch.
You reach to pull the covers over your face
But, tooo late. Buummpy bummpy sounds appear.
Ghosts and goblins scare your fear.
Bats fly with their black wings and glaring gold eyes!
In the middle of Halloween night you can hear them all say:
"HAPPY HALLOWEEN! HEHEHEHEHEHE!"
Scary things crawl at night
That gives me a Halloween fright
For all the people out there on Halloween night
With your little candy bags and all of you might
Be grabbed, you might be pushed, so just beware!
When it's dark!
This day and on you won't forget
When the lights were off and the kids are in bed
You went to get a glass of water to put you to sleep
Then all of a sudden you heard a noise that doesn't sound quite right.
You look out the door you see nothing.
You even look upstairs you see nothing.
"What is going on," is what you are saying.
But before you could do something
The grimlin had already got you.
This story will never end until you say that special word.......
Happy halloween !!!!! Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
On Halloween I walked home because my dad was late picking me up.
The whole day I heard ghosts crying. On my walk I heard them again.
I slowly and cautiously looked up. There were plane markings in the sky.
Can you guess what I saw in the markings? Yes, It did say, "boo".
I turned around. No one was there. Left, Right, Nothing.
But just then. . . . . . .
As the chilling echoes through twisted old trees
The autumn moon rises through rotting brown leaves
A lonely howl of the she-wolf send chill up my spire
A call to dark spirits awaiting her sign
Venture not to his woods there's a ghastly toll
The angel's of Satan will seize your poor soul
Get back from the window lie down or the floor
Lest evil's sharp gagger brings death to your door.
Halloween is here again.
It comes once a year, which is now and then
Witches and sandy storms,
Gummies and candycorns
So put on your costume and go trick-or-treating
Bring home candy and scare the poop out of your parents
Have a Spook-Tacular Halloween!
Ghosts say boo
The witches say hoo.
At Halloween don't lie
Because you will die.
The kid's say treak or treat
The vampires will be beat.
If you eat candy
The rats will be creepy
Haunted Houses
Trick-or-treat
Costume Parties
Giving out treats
Happiness and love
Fills the air.
When all this happens.
It's Halloween!
Booooooooo! Booooooo!
Booooooooo! Booooooo!

Happy Boooooing
Happy HALLOWEEN!
Halloween oh, Halloween
Scary, scary, Halloween in the night
I hear a voice a whisper a whistle, even a hoot of an owls.
When your there in the middle of the night watching waiting,
Waiting for someone or something and all of a sudden
You hear something in the bush what is it?
And then your heart starts to race, raceing and racing
And then bomb a cat, a Blake cat, that little thing Has scared you!
You start to giggle and then you hear a load giggle
But it is't you its a man a big man you look at him
He looks at you everything is quite but than he says!!!!
BOO !!! and he giggles and thats the reason you don't
Want to go out on Halloween don't go unless your prepared!!
Or else something bad could happen
Hope you have fun on Halloween remember don't talk to strangers!!!
Thus, the night of Halloween
And all through the house.
All the Creatures were scurrying
Exept for the ghouls.
They were getting Ready!
For what? The children were going to bed.
The ghouls silently tip-toe into the rooms and......
"Honey it's time to get up and go to school."
It was all a dream.

There once was a cat named Jack.
He was black with a wooden hat.
His friend the spider, drank some cider,
And told him, "That is that!"
So Jack went away, sad and dismayed,
for his friend was no longer a friend.
But one Halloween night, Jack saw in sight,
his one and true friend till the end!
They were both filled with glee and chuckled
"hehe!" They were glad that their friendship did mend.
Just the thought of hallowen,

The light of the moon shines down on the kids
as they wonder from house to house.
The vampires peek through the bushes
as quiet as a mouse.
The ghosts as invisible as can be
chaperone the kids through the night.
They guide them to the darkest house
with not even the dimmest light.
They sneak to a cemetery
after trick-or-treating is done.
They trade up all their candy
and say this year was so much fun.
They here the leaves rustle
as they turn to see a gnome.
The owls spy on them
as they quickly run home.
Through the darkness you hear a sound,
you take a breath then turn around.
With a crash of thunder comes a flash of lightening,
the deafening silence that surrounds you is frightening.
You feel the fear with your whole being,
the numbness now, it starts to sting.
You feel as if it's one bad dream until you realize it's Halloween!!!!
Halloween is here and all the vampires rise again,
Skeltones arive from the graves and and the bones crakle,
As the witches finish there brew,they casts evil spells,
When the children pick their costumes out they wonder
What their friends are going to be,
As you walk down the long creepy street, that once a ghost or
Goblin walked down,
You wonder...... what kind of candy you will get this year,
You walk to the most creepiest house in the neighborhood,
You saw your friend walk in for candy, but...... five min. later
Nobody can find him again!!!!!!!
As you walk in the house a year later you see your friend
Creepy crawlies up my spin, I hear some thing, I see some thing.
What could it be? It has long creepy nails, devil red eyes, all black in the night.
May be it's my mom wearing a mask and long slimy nails,
Or may be it's, it's… ahhhhhhhh! The devil.
Halloween is coming fast,
Bats and rats are coming at last,
Vampires, Ghosts and Ghouls too.
Nothing can stop it, not even you fools.
Witches will come and spells they will cast
With pointy hats and broomsticks so fast.
Children out, going trick-or-treating,
Beware of these things while the pot is heating!
Creeping noises you will hear,
Then for your lives, you will fear.
Don't come out, stay indoors.
This day will surely be the scariest of Allllllll!!!!!
Screaming Banshees, cackling witches
Halloween is a time for ghouls and goblins to play,
For lonely souls to fly astray.
Halloween is a time for witches to fly, casting an
Eerie shadow in the dark night sky.
Halloween is a time for skeletons to prance,
In their scary, bony dance.
Halloween is a time for werewolves to howl,
Beware as they may prowl.
Halloween is a time for Banshees to scream,
Giving you a frightful dream. But, overall,
Halloween is a time for tricks and treats,
Candy apples and all sorts of good eats.
So enjoy Halloween day, but don't
Let the bumps in the night scare you away.
Oh, a frightful night is this All Hallow's Eve,
Where the dead arise and the zombies feast.
'Tis the night of ghosts, goblins and the bats -- their nest they leave.
A night celebrated by costumes, masks, tricks and treats
We do not know from where these strange things nest
It is the night young and old fear to meet. 'Tis a night of
Dread, but we celebrate it to remember the spirits that are now
Dead. So carve your pumpkins, dust off your pointed shoes
'Tis the witches night to say, "Boos!"
The witches mumble horrid chants, you're scolded by five thousand aunts.
A martian pulls a fearsome face, and hurls you into outer space.
You're tied in front of whistling trains, a tomahawk has sliced your brains.
The tigers snarl, the giants roar, you're sat on by a dinosaur.
In vain you're shouting, "Help!" and "Stop!" The walls are spinning like a top.
The Earth is melting in the sun, and all the horror's just begun.
And oh the screams, the thumping hearts,
That awful night before school starts.
The night was cold
And the sky was dark.
The witches were old
And so was the park.
As I walked alone
There was a scream
I looked for a phone
And wished this was a dream.
I heard a cry
And looked around.
My tears became dry
As I heard a whistle on the ground.
I cleared my throat
And shouted, "Who's there?"
Then I tightened my coat
Only hearing a whistle in the air.
I looked at the dark sky
A before me arose a scene.
Then a cat passed me by
And said, " HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"
Halloween, the scariest of all nights...
All monsters, big and small, creeping, lurking...
Late at night, ghosts haunt...
Laughing, cackling, howling...
Owls, bats, spiders add to the mood...
When ghouls, vampires and zombies roam free...
Eventually ghosts retreat, eternally to rest.
Not eternally... there is always next
Halloween.
Ghosts and goblins scare and fright.
Pumpkins fiercely growl.
Witches fly into the night
As the werewolves howl.
Your neck gets bitten by a vampire,
As skeletons make you believe
That the dead do really desire
To get you on All Hallow's Eve!!!
Concerned, I said "yes."
I hung up the phone.
This Halloween night
I would be alone.
I just received word,
at home I must stay.
A scary monster,
was headed my way.
It wanted the kids.
This, my greatest fear.
I warned the children,
as evil grew near.
They had such courage,
as they hugged me tight.
One had to remind me,
"Turn on the porch light !"
I flipped on the switch
as I looked outside.
The creature was coming,
there was no time to hide.
The house began to shake,
as it approached the door.
I wasn't ready
for what was in store.
The strangest thing
my eyes ever saw,
was dressed like a clown
my ex mother-in-law !
"Let's go trick-or-treating !"
she said with a smile.
"Start passing out candy
we'll be back in awhile."
On the Highway to Halloween
The streets are quiet
or it would seem
Off in the distance
you hear them scream
Burning up pavement
and going too fast
This night so different
from the last
For lots of kids
are up on the street
Trying to scare up
their favorite treat
As ghosts and goblins
they really do scare
But all you monsters
please be aware
Something's coming
that's hard to be seen
Flying down the road
on this Halloween
