      A mask to conceal
         a costume to hide behind
      A dozen laughs kill the pain
         a couple drinks anesthetize

HALLOWEEN

Halloween started as a Celtic celebration
But things have changed over the generations
People get dressed in costumes and walk the streets
Knocking on doors and asking everyone they meet
Just one question and that is “Trick or Treat?”
So, we give them lollies to avoid getting tricked
If nobody knocks upon my door
Then it is me that I bought the

Costume

No fulgor 
do domingo, 
finda a visita
e o merecido
descanso, 
agora,
Dona Dalva,
para a vida
abre o atalho. 

Ela volta à cidade,
para bondade semear,
para com seus atos, 
a vida de toda
a gente, melhorar.

Esperamos, Dona Dalva
Bem vinda.

Premium MemberThe Day of Halloween

The emerging of wizards and ghosts
On a night of deep and frightening darkness 
Children dressed in special costumes,hats and masks
With a Jack-o'-lantern in hands
Hoping to frighten the evil spirits away
Things with bad omens like black cats, bats and spiders
Are completely avoided
The number of 13 is also discarded
With the coincidence of Halloween
We may also drive away

COSTUMES

There are costumes in the world today called “Christianity,”
But will they hear Christ say to them some day, “Depart from Me”?
There are costumes of self-righteousness that many people wear,
Though God will say they’re filthy rags, they do not seem to care.
There’s costumes of the rituals some practice every day
Like repetitions that they utter every time

ghosts and goblins
trick or treating
for bags of candy
and toffee apples on a stick

children roam streets
as costumed fairies
looking for sweet treats
to rot their teeth

scary pumpkins
carved with care
eerie sounds
while darkness falls

tiny tots hold parent’s hands tightly
as the streets fill up with characters
dressed from angels and devils
and everything in between

creaking doors
in dead of night
graveyards come to life
everyone knows

Premium MemberThree of My Halloween Costumes

Gypsy Fortune Teller costume revealed my most dazzling self
Wearing hot pink, silver, gold, purples, and flaming oranges.
Carrying a crystal ball, tarot cards and runes.
An elaborately embroidered shawl over my shoulders.
Enjoyed myself ever so much at the Octoberfest, reading palms.
My psychic self pranced forth, hugging my soul with delight.

Pirate Queen costume, reveals my hidden slashing self.
She

Ode To Cats In Costumes

Ode to the Cats in costume
Cats in costume, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you hiss, stare and walk,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the wicked chock.

Let me compare you to a black clover?
You are more scary, unreal and slender.
White storms whip the twiglets

Trick Or Treat

Its that dark October night
When the dead come alive
Broomsticks ready to ride
Nowhere for you to hide
Fancy dress and party time
Cackling witches ready to dine
Dunking apples and games galore
Knock knock whos at the door
Frankenstein, Zombies, ghosts and dracula
Is it a trick? I hope that's not popular
Or simply a treat 
something like a sweet
Are you gonna be

Premium MemberArt Deco Costumes Why Not

Let’s make art deco Halloween costumes this year, she said.
What are they? I asked. I do not like spending a lot of extra time.
Do a little research, she suggested. You’ll figure it out.
The easiest costume I saw was probably for a flapper.

I put fringe around the bottom of a short straight nightie.
Fashioned a headdress out

Halloween Costumes



When I grew up we were free to be anything.
But those days are over!
I can only dress as my dog, Rover??

If I dress ethnically, some may get offended.
We had innocent fun as kids and adults.
Today a costume may start a revolt.

Only people in power can wear such things,
Rule countries, what does this all mean?
That

Halloween Night

October 30, 2018

Well the shoppers are all out 
Already in costume wandering about
Buying up candy and chocolate bars
Trick or treating under the stars

What will the costumes be this year?
Make us laugh and bring some cheer
Some of the yards will be quite frightening
And some will be most enlightening

Shedding some light on Halloween
And what it truly means
Witches,

The Witching Hour

Shadow, shadow on the wall.
Merry monsters in the hall;
Ghostly goblins gently peek
At little children faking sleep.

The night is strange as low it roams
Around the snugly lighted homes.
The young ones feel its magic power;
The clock has struck the children’s hour!

Grabbing costumes from the pegs
Then down the stairs on little legs.
To children’s promised midnight feast,
As grownups fall
