Notes About The Poem

Happy Halloween!


 

Trick Or Treat

Soft light plays on
my shameless, lipstick rouged
lips - it's a party.

I hear OverDoz
advocating a “last kiss”
somewhere in the night.

Some faces always 
find a favorable light
- like the movie stars.

He’s gorgeous, with a
new iPhone-like appeal
- the consensus choice.

I’m looking through glass
at a candy I can’t hope
for this Halloween.

You can always hope for the "candy" my young friend, you just can't always have it. But don't ever give up hope...there's always tomorrow. Happy Halloween !!! Boo...
