Halloween Candy Hangover

Oh my!
Halloween night
Of fun and spooky fright
Moonlight creating flickering
Shadows

Children
Quite elated
Trick-or-treating with friends 
Who’s creepiest with make-up and
Costumes

Evening
Getting cooler
Night is getting darker
Children walking with bright flashlights
Chilling

Goblins,
Haunted houses,
Black cats, witches on brooms,
Owls hoot, bats silhouette the moon
Eerie!


Carved out
Spooky pumpkins 
Glowing flickering eyes 
Watch out for small ghost and goblins
Door sign

Grumpy
Children to bed 
Sick with crampy  tummies
Halloween candy hangover 
Nightmares

Children Story

My parents didn’t celebrate Halloween so I didn’t have the pleasure of the fun ... I always made my boys their costumes and painted their faces. When Halloween evening came around my friends and I would walk our children around the safe neighbor hoods. 
  They used  to have so much fun.

Eric Boddie Date: 10/19/2015 4:49:00 PM hung over on candy so many times....my tummy would ache all the way into my mind....so I would bite the tail that bit me....and just like that, it was back to the candy....lol Login to Reply Eve Roper Date: 10/22/2015 3:40:00 PM :)Halloween is so much fun when I can see the children all dressed up and excited receiving a handful of candy. We don't get that many here I guess parent are afraid to walk around the neighborhoods.
