When gusts of wind whistle and boom
And the boughs of trees shake and rattle
When the lilts of a doleful song
Come floating through the desert air
And waves on waves of enticing strain
Percolate through the...

They are a team
on Hallows mean
We see them flying high in the midnight sky
And the children scream “We are going to die!”
But wait, says the cat.

Timing is Everything, Zelda
Zelda, that tired old witch, she overslept
No surprise, with the late hours she kept
Panicked, Zelda grabbed her broom
Off to scare children she'd zoom
Stores sold out of 'B-r-e-w-m-e-t-h-a-n-o-l' ~ she wept...

Faith Of Chyme A Halloween PoemWhy pumpkin pie
was pumpkin pulp
I churned each piece
a pot born gulp
And wondered why
each pumpkin died
a pot urn'd pile
of what I'd tried
When pumpkin pulp
was all the rage
And gas blessed smiles
were pooped of age
That odors flew
on Halloween
When...

Vampires at the rearmost,

Midnight clocking the midmost...
Sunrise cleansing the defrost....

Dracula Daughter Murders AliceAlice, murdered by Dracula’s daughter
White rabbit keeps secret as he ought’er.
He sits on her throne
As Halloween gnome
Skulls laugh at the smeary night blotter
Striped legs and a red hair bow pretty
Dracula’s child morbid and witty
Secrets secure

Watching HalloweenWalking through the streets I see
The families all decked out.
It’s Halloween and that is what
The fuss is all about.
The kids, of course, in costumes,
But the grown-ups are, as well
And later there’s a dog parade;
This date...

MY TRIP TO THE LAKEHounds prowl beneath a cold-blooded moon.
Torchbearers cross the levee in unions of two,
Each boasting of the mischief he’ll do.
Ghosts follow hard in Lucifer’s tracks.
Hell’s dignitaries, slipping through cracks in the night,
Prepare to hold a premature...

HalloweenFond memories of Halloween as a child,
and times spent with my own children

The anticipation of wearing a fun costume...

They don't trick or treat
But head for the meat
Especially family jewels!...
