Notes About The Poem

Halloween

My neighbor's orange pumpkin patch
seems so spooky and 'very scary' from my veranda.
A black cat cardboard cutout 'will still' give me a thrill
if provocatively poised perfectly still.
Kids love movies; oft dressing up as Rambo
or Robin Hood, complete with a gun or bow and arrow.
Halloween is a 'fright night' celebration for any age,
and bogeyman costumes are all the rage,
but if they give me the heebie-jeebies, I won't let them in.

Excellent, my friend. I've tried this about three times and have yet to succeed. Don't even have anything worth posting. Yours is perfect. My mind doesn't seem to handle three different ideas at once. I see this as a top winner!
