Halloween 2

Halloween 2 Haunted houses knock if you dare Apple bobbing drenched wet hair Lanterns waken shadows hidden Laughing, giggling, excited children Orange pumpkins large and small Witches wands a spell to call Enchantment fills cold night air Eerie footsteps creak upon a stair Nights mystic moonlight glare ..........Trick Or Treat - Halloween Prayer 01.10.20

I love the poem. A perfect masterpiece of how Halloween once was. In my insane state, it is outlawed. Get this. You can come here to destroy businesses in protests and ruin lives. But, kids cannot do Trick or Treat? They might get the virus?,But...loons may demonstrate by the 100's. Kids don't die from the virus. Adults have a better chance..but nobody stops them. Kids also do not harm or kill police. Crackpots do. Thus, I repeat, California is off the beam. It's a shame Emilia! Pangie xx A FAV poem

Emilia James

Thank you Pangie and for the honour of a Fav, It's a mad mad world, I will have some treats here on stand by just in case, Emilia : ) x

Emilia James

Thank you Tom, wanted to do this one a little lighter, I don't think there will be either, least my dog won't be constantly barking everytime the door bell rings lol, Emilia : )
