There are so many Halloween poems to choose from, but I selected this one because it reminds me of my favorite October "recipe." Just toss some candy corn with a few peanuts and you have a salty-sweet fall treat!
Sweet Tooth
A handful
of loose teeth rattle
in my pocket,
triangles of orange
and yellow
bitten off just so,
nip by nip
to the white tip.
Oh, candy corn,
why do you appear
only once a year?
- Candace Pearson, Halloween Howls (Selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins)
