Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Surreal Halloween

Heads bowed, shoulders stooped
  Gloved hands, facemasks in place
The sorry souls who venture out
  Seem not part of the human race

Their features covered
  Their spirits smothered
Lurid figures stalk grocery aisles
  An eerie pall hovers over the scene
Foreboding, haunted, surreal Halloween

Jan Allison April 3, 2020 at 1:09 PM it definitely does have an air of Halloween about it, but unlike Halloween it is going to go on for many months not just one day. Your imagery is brilliant GW:-) hugs Jan xx Gershon Wolf April 3, 2020 at 3:02 PM Whoa, don't think I ever earned a 'brilliant' from the Queen of Limericks before. I'm floating on a cloud now. Thank you, Jan, and here's to your health! :) ;) gw

Tom Cunningham April 3, 2020 at 1:08 PM Bang on Gershon, there is a real creepy atmosphere everywhere. These next couple of weeks will be horrendous according to the experts. Stay safe. Tom Gershon Wolf April 3, 2020 at 3:01 PM Bang on, Tom! Your term 'creepy' really nails the feeling out there, esp. when the weather is gray and/or rainy. Thanks for your steadfast support, and stay healthy! :) Gershon
