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

Pathetic is the right choice of words for this situation, Jenish. You take care too, friend. Cheers and Good Cheer, Gershon

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

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

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

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
