Notes About The Poem

Halloween Moon

From behind veiled clouds the moon awaits 
hesitantly. It’s time to greet
restless souls that roam on Halloween.
What shall it be....a trick or treat?

To treat, or not to treat- that is the question. I got a good price on boiling oil, so that's me sorted. Nicely done, Paul, and all the best for the contest. Regards, Viv

Yes Paul... the patter of little feet will be approaching our doorway shortly. We've avoided the tricks in years gone by. Nicely written Paul - Lindsay

Thank you for the 'like', Lindsay. Up to several years ago Halloween was unheard of in Malta, but these last years it has crept in and gained in popularity. // paul

- A wonderful Halloween moon, Paul - The moon is special in October ..... (I do not think it is because of Halloween, but perhaps the cold air) - I wish you good luck in the contest! - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
