Halloween Matching Contest - 5
Fall 2015 • Millikin University

wearing a mask
wishing I could
for more than a night

dressed up
as my true self
Halloween moon

I put a spell on you
and now you're mine
cursed with joy

goblins and ghouls
fear me less
your poisoning smile

a bag
for your candy?
pshhh I need a pillowcase

Halloween
a night for the dead
a morning toothache

the cold wind 
gives me chills and
that clown over there 

overhead
crows caw maliciously
     evil among us

Trick or treat?
     I'll have another
     of your lies

a zombie breathing
down my neck
the whites of my knuckles

little kids scare me
more than
your costume

"Honey?
Dracula is back
and he wants more M&M's"

something waiting
to pounce
the gravel under your feet

I watch the screen
through my fingers
then jump out of my seat

"Taco Bell?"
live a little
"What the heck, sure"

wasting 
taco bell money 
a haunted house
