Halloween thoughts and poems, quotes and aphorisms by the World of English, that is English-culture.com blog and Carl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween for the year 2025 is celebrated\/observed on Friday, October 31st<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What the dead had no speech for, when living, They can tell you, being dead: the communication Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.<\/span>
\nT.S. Eliot, Four Quartets<\/span><\/p>\n

For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth… Such are the autumn people.<\/span>
\nRay Bradbury<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s what makes it so fun! Life is scary. So why wouldn\u2019t we enjoy and make fun of that fear? It\u2019s like life is trying to makes us fear it, and on this day we just mock its attempts and say \u2018no, not today, today I\u2019m not scared of anything you throw at me’.<\/span>
\nPatricia Morais<\/span><\/p>\n

The Harvest Moon glows round and bold, In pumpkin shades outlined in gold, Illuminating eerie forms, Unnatural as a candied corn. Beware what dare crawls up your sleeve, For ‘tis the night called Hallows Eve.\u201d<\/span>
\nRichelle E. Goodrich, Making Wishes<\/span><\/p>\n

Treats and tricks.<\/span>
\nWitch broomsticks.<\/span>
\nJack-o-lanterns<\/span>
\nLick their lips.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crows and cats.<\/span>
\nVampire bats.<\/span>
\nCapes and fangs<\/span>
\nAnd pointed hats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Werewolves howl.<\/span>
\nPhantoms prowl.<\/span>
\nHalloween\u2019s<\/span>
\nUpon us now.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s Halloween,<\/span>
\nThe night we all play,<\/span>
\nTrick or treat,<\/span>
\nWe won’t go away.<\/span>
\nBe we ghoul or goblin, ghost,<\/span>
\nWe’ll knock on your door,<\/span>
\nTo see who scares you the most.<\/span>
\nBut cringe not in fear,<\/span>
\nOr cry out in pain,<\/span>
\nCause it’s only a game,<\/span>
\nOh, what a shame.<\/span>
\nBut don’t despair,<\/span>
\nIn the cold night air,<\/span>
\nBecause we’ll be back,<\/span>
\nAnd then you’ll be scared!<\/span>
\nBut not just one,<\/span>
\nOr even two.<\/span>
\nAnd so we bid you,<\/span>
\nA sweet adieu.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween Haunted Night House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One need not be a chamber to be haunted;<\/span>
\nOne need not be a house;<\/span>
\nThe brain has corridors surpassing<\/span>
\nMaterial place.
\n<\/span>Emily Dickinson<\/span><\/p>\n

The jack-o-lantern follows me with tapered, glowing eyes.<\/span>
\nHis yellow teeth grin evily. His cackle I despise.<\/span>
\nBut I shall have the final laugh when Halloween is through.<\/span>
\nThis pumpkin king I\u2019ll split in half to make a pie for two.\u201d<\/span>
\nRichelle E. Goodrich, Slaying Dragons<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween shadows played upon the walls of the houses. In the sky the Halloween moon raced in and out of the clouds. The Halloween wind was blowing, not a blasting of wind but a right-sized swelling, falling, and gushing of wind. It was a lovely and exciting night, exactly the kind of night Halloween should be.\u201d<\/span>
\nEleanor Estes, The Witch Family<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Tis the night \u2014 the night<\/span>
\nOf the grave’s delight,<\/span>
\nAnd the warlocks are at their play;<\/span>
\nYe think that without<\/span>
\nThe wild winds shout,<\/span>
\nBut no, it is they \u2014 it is they.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arthur Cleveland Coxe<\/span><\/p>\n

A gypsy fire is on the hearth,<\/span>
\nSign of the carnival of mirth;<\/span>
\nThrough the dun fields and from the glade<\/span>
\nFlash merry folk in masquerade,<\/span>
\nFor this is Hallowe’en!<\/span><\/p>\n
