Funny Halloween Poems for Kids

Halloween is a Christian festival, which falls on 31st October each year. However, delve into the depths of history and one finds that Halloween had its origin in an ancient ancient pagan festival. This is why people celebrate Halloween by dressing up as witches, warlocks and other ghoulish creatures. In America, Halloween is celebrated as Trick or Treat, which involves extorting candy from one's neighbours with thinly veiled menaces.

Halloween Poems 2009

Well, we're keeping up a seasonal average of two funny halloween poems a year, which is hardly sparkling, but much better than none. You could very well argue that one is a Christmas poem rather than a halloween poem, but in reality it's both.

WHICH?

Two old Women
In long black cloaks
With point hats
And two black cats

'We're Imelda
And Griselda'
Said one. But which
Should I call which...

CHRISTMAS HERALD

The Christmas lights are up
The shops play Christmas tunes
The Santas are out in force
In their red and white platoons
Christmas goodies are on display
The best selections ever seen
Which sends the message out
That it’s nearly Halloween

Halloween Poems 2008

There are a couple of funny Halloween poems by Paul to enjoy this year.

TRICK OR TREAT

When the little boys and girls
Knock at my door for candy
I must give them what they want
“Or else” is their modus operandi
So with a false smile I comply
But under my breath I pray
That by the time Christmas comes
They’ll all have tooth decay

ALL HALLOWS EVE

I hide behind the sofa quivering in fear
Now the witching hour is near
The curtains are drawn tight
And I’ve turned off the lights
The TV volume is way down low
I sit and cower it its feeble glow
Then comes the knock upon the door
And I curl up quivering on the floor
My heart is pounding my breath is shallow
My mouth is dry it’s hard to swallow
On all hallows eve I live in mortal dread
But not of monsters or the un-dead
The fear that turns my heart to stone
Is Trick or Treaters knowing I’m home

Who knows, by next year there may be a plethora of new poems for Halloween, or more likely a mad last minute scramble to brew a few....
