Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

An Innocent Childhood Memory

Children enchant the beat
after knocking on doors, looking for handouts, score
       trick or treat.

                             October chill.
Warm village firehouse parade pours
         out thrills —

                                   a fright
       of ghosts; abhors
light.

                   Children enchant the beat.
Warm village firehouse parade pours
       light.

Caren Krutsinger August 28, 2020 at 11:58 PM I am saying to myself now, "I am so glad I did not go with a Halloween theme for this contest" because you nailed it. Kim Rodrigues August 29, 2020 at 10:09 AM Thank you, my friend!

Gershon Wolf August 27, 2020 at 7:04 PM This one really works for me. Love your stylistic devices and this one moves.

Sigrid Ermine August 27, 2020 at 5:19 AM 'Children enchant the beat' - has a pulse in it.! I can see the sheet strewn, paint faced hopefuls and feel the vibe of cooling evenings. A hard form to depict a scene in. I applaud you for it. Kim Rodrigues August 27, 2020 at 6:01 AM Thank you, Sigrid!
