Halloween Poems for kids

A great collection of halloween poems for kids. These short but hilarious verses were written by children's writer Paul Perro in 2009. We have rhymes about vampires, werewolves, witches and ghosts - spooky, yes, but fun and child-friendly too - ideal for use as a bedtime story, or for reading out in class. You and the child or children in your life will love them

Halloween is a fun night
With lots of things to see.
There are black cats,
And giant bats,
Let's take a look, shall we?

Vampire
Vampires have pale white skin
They just come out at night.
Give one half a chance and he
Will give your neck a bite.

Mummy
I come from ancient Egypt
They call me the mummy.
Bandages cover my arms, my legs,
My head, my chest, my tummy.

Witch
A witch flies past on her broomstick,
Over the roof of your house.
It would be better
Not to upset her,
She'd turn you into a mouse.

Skeleton
Skeletons walk about the town.
They have no skin, just bone.
Sometimes for fun they play their ribs
Just like a xylophone

Ghost
I am a spooky ghost
Being scary's what I do.
I like to sneak behind people
And whisper softly "Wooooo!"

Werewolf
The sun is going down,
It will be night time soon.
The werewolf will be coming out
And howling at the moon.

Grim Reaper
The grim reaper looks very scary,
But it's not really what he intends.
With his scythe and his hood,
He is misunderstood,
He really just wants to be friends.

Jack O'Lantern
There are lots of monsters about tonight,
But you'll be safe, don't worry.
The Jack o'lantern will scare them off,
They won't be back in a hurry.

Mummy

Grim Reaper

As well as Halloween poems, Paul Perro has also written a collection of Christmas Poems for Kids
