*The Quest

Intro: I don’t normally do poetry so I thought I would try it. I apologize in advance to the true poets out there.

My quest begins.
I take a hesitant step into the dark.
Unnatural shapes
Dress in black
Lurk through the shadows.
I clutch my bag tightly
Moving towards the first target.
I am not alone.
Screaming.
Yelling.
Pushing.
Monsters run past
Attacking the entrance vigorously.
Their appetite only momentarily satisfied
They rush on.
I move forward
Wary as ever.
The door opens,
Light spills on my trembling figure.
I smile innocently
Quietly whisper,
“Trick or Treat.”
And hold out my bag.
