Getting into the Halloween Mood

A poem (adapted from Fannie Stearns Davis) to get you into the Halloween mood:

Ghost

I am almost afraid of the wind out there,

the dead leaves skip on the porches bare,

the windows clatter and whine,

I sit here in the quiet house...low lit,

with the clock that ticks and the books that stand,

wise and silent on every hand.

I am almost afraid, though I know the night,

lets no ghost walk in the warm lamplight,

yet ghost, there are; and they blow, they blow...

out in the wind and the scattering snow;

when I open the windows when I go to bed,

will the ghosts come in and stand by my head?

Have a fantastic BOO! night tonight :)
