BOO!

 Hang your ghastly decorations

black lights, demon pumpkins, and witches.

You’re wasting your expectations.

Ghosts don’t exist.

 How can they haunt or harm

To be frightened, I resist.

 October, Halloween, or

All Hallows Eve.

 The dead don’t rise

and bones won’t walk or rattle

for either tricks or treats.

 So, play your games.

But I don’t buy it.

 Ghosts and ghoulies

are only a figment of your imagination.

The stroke of midnight will show

you’ve wasted your fear 

And now November 3rd is here!

Mwahahaha!!!


YES!

How I hope your country's (and the world's) horror show ends on November the third.

This is great! And this will definitely be a different Halloween for those who celebrate it.

That's far scarier!

Hi Renee! It's been awhile. I enjoyed your poem, especially the part about November 3. May your country return to sanity!

Sorry, it really HAS been awhile. I meant "Yolanda". Oops!

Mwahahaha!!!

Why didn't I see that coming? Oh please vote that guy out and end the horror show.

Hi Renee - well done on voting. Who knows what's going to happen with the result, or for that matter afterwards ... and we've got our own hassles over here ... ah well - thankfully Halloween won't grab me! Though a house just down the road has fake cobwebs outside, pumpkins, and horror Halloween delights in the window ... Take care - cheers Hilary
