Halloween Poetry
by Alicia Dean
A group of mages sit around
To conquer new worlds they are bound
Grim threats are all borne
Crop circles flatten corn
Paradox magic waits to be found
-Alicia Dean, 10/23/03
New moon floats across stars
Ghosts moan by graves afar
Ghouls meet with vamps
They start to dance
Leave blood, black pavement char
-Alicia Dean, 10/23/03
Orange pumpkins ignite, so they seem
White skeletons smile as they teem
Black mewling cats
Yellow fangs of bats
The colors of Halloween gleam
-Alicia Dean, 10/23/03
It's Time
Noisy common room was athrong
The cry was being passed along
"Without good reason
This Halloween season
All submit limericks anon!"

Life Is Made Of
There once was a boy of some fame
Whose wit would make each day a game.
Age slowed his voice with fits
Of stubbornness. Yet it's
Clear he's loved: Harold is his name!

Halloween Rivals
Come near ye sweet witch,
Danger threatening is a'foot:
For children now floss!
-Alicia Dean, 10/30/02
Say, have you heard the recent lark?
It's to have limericks in the dark!
Yet all have gathered 'round,
As if ghosts and ghouls bound
All words, not one to make a mark.
-Alicia Dean, 10/26/02
There once was a cruel witch from Khart
Who took every small slight to heart.
While she danced, curses hurl!
But slipping on a pearl
Each new spell now gave her a wart.
-Alicia Dean, 10/26/02
On Hallow's Eve dark
'Twix men and dead may be love;
Magic chain-jest keep
-Alicia Dean, 9/28/02
[Oh, dear. How did a pun sneak in? *sigh* Must
be a Neibaur thing....
(i.e., last line is read "Magic changes keep")]
Forward Step to Take
Will it be as True as Truth
Impression in Stone
