I trick-or-treated.
I dressed up in costume,
rang doorbells and pleaded.

who treats and tricks.
I cackle at children
and share candy sticks.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Being Bold: Quotes, Poetry, & Motivations for Every Day of the Year

“Pomona's Feast by Stewart Stafford

Home from aggressive begging on November Eve,
A horror movie that won't be finished in the background,
The pirate's booty or robber's swag is examined.

Face in the bag, a cornucopia of scents in the nostrils:
Oranges, nuts, burnt popcorn, chocolate,
Toffee apples, crisps, Liquorice Allsorts, and Rice Krispie cakes.

A smörgåsbord Pomona's feast begins,
As a maternal voice advises frugality,
To no avail.

Noses in the trough,
Nothing eaten bears any relation to the thing eaten before or after,
Aching gums, jaws, and bellies swiftly ensue.

To bed to sleep it off,
The next morning, it's déjà vu,
The maternal voice again advises eating breakfast first, to no avail.

“November 1st, All Saints Day,
Dawned crisp and bright,
Golden leaves and burned-out husks of fireworks,
Lay strewn in the grass by the smouldering bonfire.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Había un desfile de los más diversos disfraces: caras fantasmales pintadas sobre sábanas, máscaras de Frankenstein al estilo Hollywood, vampiros de colmillos ensangrentados que perturbarían el sueño de Bram Stoker. Estaban también los que arrastraban trajes humillantes: infantes subyugados por la voluntad de padres cursis que los vestían de abejorros, mariposas, y peluchitos esponjosos.”
― Rodrigo Éker, Cuarteto de Halloween

“Each year, the church hosted a Family Fun Night in the fellowship hall as a trick-or-treating alternative for kids. Superheroes and fairy princesses were encouraged; goblins and zombies were not allowed through the doors. Bernice didn't know when it had happened, but evidently, many of the church folk in Savage Crossing believed Halloween was the gateway to Hell.... Bernice looked forward to giving candy to the cute neighborhood kids dressed as green-faced witches and vampires wearing plastic fangs. Kids (and church people) would be better off if they understood superheroes weren't real, and monsters often lurked in unexpected places.”
― Talya Tate Boerner, Bernice Runs Away
