Excitement filled my thoughts
walking around every bend
it was a risky venture
from the beginning to the end
Shadows lurked as I
maneuvered through the swamp
fearless creatures lurked
each with its own want
Carefully walking
there is a sudden howl
bright yellow eyes
it was an owl
Darkness is coming
there is a stillness in the air
any sudden movement
could cause me to be ensnared
Voices around the corner
there is a small light
coming around the corner
turning to the right
Suddenly there is a presence
out of thin air
I jumped so high
screaming with a flair
Full moon above
someone has given me a fright
a handful of campers
enjoying Halloween night
