Samhain

Maria Veronica Ramirez Eng 161 Trick or Treat Leaving carved out turnips lit with wax candles Outside their wood door and on top of their stone fence They scare away the evil Watching football while they shape the Funniest smile on the pumpkin They drink their black tea Wandering through the wintry Irish streets Carrying the stench of a sacrificed boar on their head They hope not to be hexed Skipping through VanNess Street Carrying a bright orange basket They hope to get the best candy Leaving feasts for the dead souls and for Samhain, the dark lord of the dead Who came back to earth to assemble his souls They hope to keep their crops from any wicked curse Passing out lollipops to firemen and superheroes Giving the biggest handful to the creepiest face
