Bright white round moon

Sneaks in and out

Between dark clouds

As folks camp out

They sit around

A bright campfire

On Halloween

Tall trees conspire

Dry leaves whisper

Call woodland folk

To have some fun

And play some jokes

Bats swoop around

The campers' heads

Chasing large moths

With wings widespread

In dark bushes

Bright green eyes blink

Campers shiver

And sip hot drinks

Nearby some wolves

Begin to howl

High in tall trees

Are hoots from owl

A black cat jumps

Across fire's edge

And disappears

Into dark hedge

From deep in woods

There comes loud moan

Campers scamper

Into van's dome

Soft rain begins

They watch fire die

And moths and bats

Fly into sky

Decide to sleep

Inside locked van

Where they feel safe

From woodland clan

Halloween night

Trees and critters

Gave some campers

Spooky jitters!
