Halloween

Halloween

my grandfathers coming to see me
with grandma and great aunty Flo
and my very old cat Mr whiskers
is going to put on a show.

must remember to gather some apples
before they all rot on the ground
i used to rest on making sweet cider
to drink when they all come around.

i have carved out some really hard turnips
and fashioned them into a light
a candle i will place now inside them
to show my house it happy and bright.

some people are scared of these ghost forms
and scream and turn white at the sight
but they are only my old family
come to visit on Halloween night.
