Notes About The Poem

           September 22, 2025, entered in Joseph May's Ghouls and Goblins contest, placed 1st

                  ************************************************************

Candy

Coming the thirty-first,
Costumed kids seeking sweets~~
Chiclets, Snickers, Starbursts,
Chick-O-Stick, and such treats.
Cautious parents take their
Charming little ones to
Caring neighbors they trust.

Utterly charming, Janice. It is a sad thing that some evil people have ruined part of this celebration by tainting candy. Your list of sweets made my mouth water. Going now to raid my secret stash! Sweet wishes for the contest! Blessings of autumn joy to you!
