Le Voyage Magnifique

Hallowe'en

Hallowe'en,
a night for waking dead folks,
crammed full of creepy cuisine.

"Trick or treat!"
kiddies shout in unison
in pursuit of something sweet.

Children scream
when skeletons suddenly
jump up in frightening scheme.

Party starts
with Frankensteins frolicking
and ends with some tasty tarts.

Ghastly scene,
which we all love and cherish,
becomes happy Hallowe'en.

Notes on the Treochair form of Irish poetry ▶︎

The Treochair is an Irish form structured in any number of tercets (three-lined stanzas). The first line has three syllables, and the other two each have seven syllables. Lines 1 and 3 rhyme with a generous amount of alliteration throughout the composition, as described and demonstrated in the following links:
