A Haunting Holiday
A Halloween sight
Goblins and monsters
Masquerade in the moonlight
Halt at the graveyards
Where the Specter's eyes scour
If you’re spotted;
They’ll ensure eternal slumber
Before the final dance of the hour
Alarm! A partygoers cackle
Ring like the shackles
Of the unearthed debacle
Flee from the dance of the dead! Sprint far from the sight!
This dance is no treat for mortals
Whom tango in daylight
Unless you deceive
The dead in their dance
Say goodbye to human deserts, delights, and romance
You did not heed my warning
Captivated by the sight
It is too late to run away
In the thick dark of night
Why didn’t you run?
When you had the chance?
You are cordially invited
To the graveyard dance
For many of us, Halloween is here! Our celebrating campers are excited about the holiday’s festivities.
Wouldn’t it be strange if you knocked on your neighbor’s door and asked them for candy? In many Western states and cities, asking your neighbors for candy is normal, but only on October 31st, or, Halloween! Halloween is a time for the youth to dress up as their favorite princesses, superheroes, villains, book characters, or role models. On Halloween night, the youth, often chaperoned with families or parents, will parade around their neighborhoods and endeavor on the hunt to fill their buckets and goody bags with loads of candy! If you’re lucky, maybe your Trick-or-treater won’t need to ask you for candy for the rest of the year.
It is wonderful how much joy our campers show when they talk about Halloween. What is it about having a special day to play pretend, gather with friends and family, and hunt for candy? Surely, this can be much more than a silly day to play dress up. Perhaps, Halloween can be a time to be self-expressive and show the world a dramatic character- something unique and fun that kids don’t often get to share with others. What do you want your Halloween character to say about you this year?
