Nightmare

I woke up from a nightmare that turned out to be a dream

I sat up in my bed and stared out my window sweating

Sweating a damp, damp glossy sheen

Outside, monsters and ghosts and ogres

Vampires, bats, bugs and jokers

Flapped slinked slithered and seethed

Roaming ravenous repulsive

Colored red, blue, purple and vomit green

I gasped and shook

Wolves snickered snarled thundering

I, trembled stooped shaking

Witches approached cackled evil in the making

I gaped gulped wide eyed

Zombies moaned crawled from hell side

I whimpered and whispered and was about to scream

But then I heard some laughter and some sniffles

Little footsteps and cute whistles

Realizing, my doorbell ringing,

It was only Halloween
