Notes About The Poem

       October 28, 2024, placed 3rd in Margarita Lillico's Picture Prompt contest

Practice Makes Perfect



I was startled by what I had seen,
neighbors’ kids on my porch looking mean.
I said, “Boys, you scared me!”
They responded with glee:
“Good! We’re practicing for Halloween.”
