One Creepy Night

Quatrain poem about the movie Halloween for the 13 Poetic Days of Halloween Contest 2025

It was Halloween, a time so festive
people in anticipation of costumed fun
little did they know they would have to run
just so they could live

For Michael Myers was on the rampage
Laurie his sis, was in fear of her bro
as was the neighborhood, all aglow
with Halloween lights and Michaels's rage

Chasing and hiding ensues
they have to get away
Michael wanted everyone to play
a game where some did lose

The night he came home
was not a good night at all
a blemish on a beautiful Fall
and for awhile he continued to roam.
