Need a Snack By Yessi Robles Holm WC: 93

Halloween’s here! Need a snack. Costume ready, got my sack. Solo stroll, moonlit night. Shadows lurk, what a fright! What is that? Are those howls? Must be hoots, lonely owls. What is that? Are those eyes? Light refraction, starry skies.

Superstition, scary thoughts.

Ghastly shivers, stomach knots.

Odor wafting, smelly fur.

Coming closer, makes a stir.

From the darkness, it appears.

Pitter, patter, drawing near.

Scary teeth, nostrils flaring.

Eyes aglow, it is staring.

WEREWOLF thoughts, as it pounces.

Licks my face, fear renounces.

Furry canine! What an end,

Trick-or-treating with a friend.
