There is a trickster in the house.
Boo! It's Grandpa!
Halloween is an experience down memory lane.
I remember it well-
present (above) to past years (below).
🍂🍂🍂
Let's move backward in time to college days.
With flashlights, we trod lightly on the cemetery grounds.
Teaching days brought a Harvest House
scenario for the entire school. There were
decorations, read out louds, refreshments, and fun.
In the neighborhood,
families gathered together for trick and treat.
Adults enjoyed costume parties.
Little grandgirls chose their fashionable wear as Disney characters.
🍂🍂🍂
Halloween's Coming!
It's time to light up your imagination.
Now that the digital artwork has been presented, I turn to poetic flare.
Halloween Delight
Momentum rises.
Halloween is around the corner.
It specializes
Not as a mourner,
A magical night it is.
Are you ready
dear little miss?
If not, go steady.
Walk down the streets
But beware
Of gobbly treats.
and smells in the air.
Laugh and enjoy
The darkness of night
Don't destroy
Or cry with fright.
Halloween dances
In clothes of black
As he prances
Call him Jack.

"l love Halloween and I love that feeling: the cold air, the spooky dangers lurking around the corner."
Below is a song for little children to sing on Halloween.
I presented my treats so now I share a Halloween trick:
Find me as a costumed character in the above digital artwork.
Have a Fa-Boo-Lous Halloween!
