Halloween
Walking down the street I saw
Both bumblebee and fairy,
Vampires, witches, and some monsters
Scarier than scary.
A gladiator strolled beside
Some high-heeled sexy nurses,
And several aliens who came
From distant universes.
A firefighter and his friends,
All hero-types in tights,
Escorted princesses and queens,
And several elves and sprites.
Such simple costume magic
Formed this Halloween display,
To lift us from the daily grind
And keep the drab at bay.
Reality’s suspended,
And we cross into the realm
Of wonder and enchantment,
With a dreamer at the helm.
So dive into this haven’s
Pure ethereal delight;
To fantasy, surrender,
If only for one night.
