Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Goodbye Halloween

I am thankful Halloween has passed
Even though it came and trampled fast
I liked the smiling pumpkins and fun for kids
But there can be evil hidden under secret lids
Lids of a façade, hiding bad intention and things
An easy place for evil to hide, that misery brings
Sadly, it marks a time for fear to celebrate
Only courage can create good acts to initiate
Darkness that lurks, behind costumes and fun
Remains in the shadows to reach everyone
I say goodbye with ease, on to the best of Thanksgiving
When love, company and sharing feeds the living

Rico Leffanta November 2, 2021 at 11:54 AM I shudder to think of all the miscreants who seize Halloween as an opportunity to do children harm! What "human" could possibly put needles in sweets for children? Lets move on to Christmas! Heidi Sands November 2, 2021 at 12:01 PM Exactly Rico! I agree. Let's move on to Christmas ! Thank you for your visit and comment :)

Jennifer Proxenos November 1, 2021 at 10:20 PM This write and message about Halloween has been lurking in my mind for years, the perfect excuse for a criminal to act and to take advantage of. But it is a festive period which millions celebrate, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now. So well penned Heidi my friend. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.
