Notes About The Poem

Meant to post this on Halloween. YIKes, sorry so late! Belated Halloween greetings to all!

Six-Word Couplet Series Encore

Ghost Buster’s Eve
‘Tis the time
to shoot slime.

Adults Only Costume Party
Sex kittens prance.
Sultry nurses dance.

Party Food
Served eyeball soup
and goopity goop

A Bobbing Good Time?
Apple I get;
face sopping wet!

House of Creeps
The chainsaw guy
made me cry

A-Maze-ing Fright
Lost girl walks
where corn stalks

Jack O’Lantern Greeters
Bright as torches,
pumpkins on porches.

Night of Royals
Small and fair,
princesses are everywhere.

Trick or TWEET
One poor nerd
plays Big Bird.

Halloweenie
Wearing dumb costume -
a dashound’s doom

The ‘Trick’ to Trick or Treating
Door to door,
speediest kids score.

Vampire Candy
Dracula’s favorite treat
is bloody sweet.

Raiding the Kids’ Trick or Treat Bag
Of chocolate stuff,
can’t get enough

Over and Out
Big Harvest Moon.
Thanksgiving comes soon.

My friend, congratulations on your Halloween six-word couplet series encore being awarded POTD. So reminded me of my own childhood and anticipation of Halloween night and the great fun we once had. Even if we got sick from eating too much candy!!!!
