There's Fear For All

With the orange and black tonight There seems to be an absent light Halloween comes, frightens many Perfect season, quite uncanny Many forget about the fright I say Halloween is for sight And the sounds of evening’s delight There’s no complaint for smells plenty There’s fear for all Orange for pumpkins, black for night I don’t know the skeleton’s plight Darkness consumes, breaks vanity Allows the creatures travesty Corrodes old minds that aren’t bright There’s fear for all Russell Sivey

Hey Russell, If u are on fb, I am gonna drive over to that mausoleum tomorrow and grab a pic of it to go with the poem (that u inspired me to write)! Also, I was thinking that u should go to BLURB or LULU and self publish a book on all your well written Halloween poems...that gives u an entire month to photograph all those great scenes u wrote about and 12 months to put it together! I know that Roger and I would love to have a book of your Halloween poetry! And I would buy a few as gifts! :)
