Jack O Lantern
Don’t look into his soul on this all hallows eve,
for it takes just a glance to be gripped by his spell.
What starts out as a dream quickly spirals to hell
where your mind will see things you don’t want to believe.

As macabre and unearthly scenes interweave
you’ll...

Jack-O-Lantern
Buy a pumpkin, big and round;
Choices at the stands abound.
Pick one with a solid stem –
You’ll know when you’ve found a gem.

Cut a circle ‘round the top;
Dig inside – remove the glop.
Separate each slimy seed;
Patience is what you will need.

Rinse and dry this pumpkin treat;
Spread...

A Very Different Jack O Lantern
There was once a little Jack ‘o’ lantern
Who despite trying his best
Was always getting picked on
Because he was different from the rest
He was a different color you see
And he stood out in a crowd
But it was the fact that he was different
That made him so...

Premium Member Jack-O-Lantern Masterpiece
Before her a sign said enter if you dare
The witch enters without giving it a glance
Inside there are candles burning everywhere
With the aura of spells still causing a dance
She works on her Jack-O-Lantern masterpiece
She envisions how other lives will sure cease
After seeing the green light...

Premium Member Guided By a Jack-O-Lantern
She stands certainly with a kind of poise
Loves the holiday that comes once a year
Gives up nothing to walk like she enjoys
She struts down holding a pumpkin of fear
It shines with a power that it employs
Being guided by light she did appear
The Jack-O-Lantern grins a...

Premium Member Aura From the Jack-O-Lantern
Jack-O-Lanterns glow with an eerie sight
Light that dances within fills one with joy
Ghosts avoid the masters that rule this night
Pumpkins show their powers that it enjoys
The witches all get their brooms to take flight
They want to avoid pumpkins that destroy
Aura from the Jack-O-Lanterns is strong

Halloween Poem # 17..Jack O' Lantern... For Paula's Challenge
Jack O' Lantern glowing bright
You are such a funny sight

Grinning as you light our way
So-called teeth in disarray

Crooked smile and green stem hat
Just watch out for the neighbor's cat!

You're trying hard to look a fright
Scare some little kids tonight

But silly pumpkin,you're a friend
You'll keep on...

Keep Your Jack-O-Lantern Lit
Remember,
keep your jack-lantern lit
‘cause on this eve should its flame quit,
dead-bolted doors won’t protect you 
from baleful spirits pouring through!...

Lantern of the Shadowed Glade

In shadowed glades where spirits dwell,
Beneath the boughs of an ancient spell. 
A pumpkin awaits, its fate foretold,
By tomes of old and tales untold.

Carved with care by children’s hands,
A toothy grin upon its face expands.
Yet, within those haunting, hollowed eyes,
Lies a...

There once was a cool guy named Jack
Jack o’ lanterns attacked his back 
	Witch Cate blew straight through
	Umbrella askew
She saved the famed wizard Jack Black

the sweet scent of candy corn
candle wax burning

All doors are open
an ancient mystery lives
I bask in its glow...

a pumpkin rolled into a tavern
	he met with a wise wizard
