the best Halloween
my ghostly appearance was scary of course
brother and sister went dressed as a horse
they did not keep pace well with each other
I saw the problem was because of my brother
we traveled along yelling “trick-or-treat”.
Picking up some candy that was truly sweet.
Homemade popcorn balls will be put in the trash.
We thanked them, throwing them into our cache.
black cats and jack-o-lanterns with witches on porches.
dim sidewalks lit by Dracula’s make-believe torches.
A scary Frankenstein was gaining on us rapidly.
I screamed in earnest when a bat flew from a tree.
The best Halloween we have ever had said Cy.
That is my brother, who is a weird little guy.
My sister was not as glad, being the back of a horse.
“I like it too!” said the Frankenstein, our neighbor Norse.
