Halloween (Villanelle)

wDo not try to sleep in the woods this night
The beast is out, hold on tight of the fear
Feel the chill; see the thrill and the fright

Without the lights so big and mighty bright
As you go and walk with you fellow peers
Do not try to sleep in the woods this night

There are no saving medieval knights
I cannot see or hear the people's cheer
Feel the chill; see the thrill and the fright

As the night goes by the people take flight
Noise of night goes by, and ringing in ears
Do not try to sleep in the woods this night

With the children’s baskets filled with delights
And some have been waiting thru out the year
Feel the chill; see the thrill and the fright

They wait for the first little sweet bites
Waiting for parent to say the “all clear”
Do not try to sleep in the woods this night
Feel the chill; see the thrill and the fright
