Halloween

On our doorstep
goblins, witches, angels,
Bart Simpson, transformers,
Elvis, vampires, and
perhaps a crossdresser
Oh God, I hope not, but
that was some homely woman

Halloween, come and gone
Tossing October aside, and
hurling us into November
Leaving us breathless,
thinking Thanksgiving turkey
Donning winter coats, now
we dream of a white Christmas

Where does time go?
One moment, it’s May
the next, Halloween
Time flies…
fast as trick or treaters
on and off
our pumpkin-filled front porch

  1. Aurora: Thanks. It seems to fly the older I get. Now that I am 23 it seems to go by much faster than when I was 8 or 9. LOL. How about you?

    Dan: Thanks. Indeed, that is who it was, OR it may have been YOU seeking sweets…
