Jeannie Flinn Furlong Poet Rhyme

Halloween Undone

Halloween Undone
Halloween! Forever marking a  a special  celebration 
          calling you to pretend you’re really not  YOU!
Will you engage in diabolical trickery
            as your favorite but cautionary must DO?

Vampires’ mischief with abduction and feasting on vibrant blood
	a  delicious treat from an undead alien or friend?
Or, did this Halloween mischief play havoc 
	creating a paralyzed body no longer able to pretend?

I applaud your Elegy to Ruth B Ginsberg...what a LADY to loose during our critical times! You honored her well with your work. I
