(SALEM, Ore.) - It's Halloween kids, time for the spirits to come out and invade your neighborhood, seeking candy and a good time and a couple of extra thrills.

It's a time to practice safety but to also have a great time. Kids in the U.S. often 'trick or treat' by going from door to door, dressed in any number of scary and sometimes funny costumes.

And what would All Hallows' Eve be without a scary poem from our ever-inspired writer Barry Lee Coyne? He takes us on a scary journey that invokes some of the scariest images of this annual holiday that is observed around the world.

Jaunty jack-o-lantern grins on window sill there stood
As ghostly ghouls do permeate our quiet neighborhood
A furry feline scurries past, of ebony endowed,
Suddenly it makes a howl, frightened yet unbowed.

Amid a mystic nimbus cloud there witch armadas flew
While their earthy sisters mix a mega-toxic brew
We spy some spiders webmaking amid a clock of silk
Spinning yarns and tales for comrades of their ilk.

Hollow stumps of Halloween become a hoot owl's perch
Mad ancestors scavenger--to and from they lurch--
Alas that fragile skeleton that I did chance to see
Is relic of my former life, that lonely clone...of me!
