Heroes

Heroes fly
by plane and car.
They live in homes with families.
Costumes at the ready; capes to
soar with up high.
Fighting the injustice.

The Dead Show

There were three little boys at a show
They hadn't wanted to go
The show was terrific
The costumes horrific
Making the dead difficult to know

There once was a Halloween party
All of the costumes there were naughty
I tried to be cute
Wearing my birthday suit
And won the prize for costume most gaudy

Halloween's here!  It's the end of summer
Costumes, it seems, just keep getting dumber
I'm fixing the kitchen sink
And my wife said, "Let me think,
Pull up your pants or go as a plumber"

Premium Member The Visitor

Our visit to Canada was all it could be.
We've seen Niagara Falls and the mighty maple tree.
We've seen the Natives in costumes red and blue,
But we still haven't seen an ice blocked igloo !

Halloween 2020

We’ve reached the time for trick or treating,
In costumes adorned for each meeting,
But Covid restriction
Considered prediction
Sad, this year no Halloween greeting!

Premium Member Pregnant With Deceit

Their flashy words so rhetorical
Nothing new, just all historical
Words pregnant with deceit
Costumes mailed, in receipt
Unmasked, see... most are identical

Halloween

Haunted houses
an arrow through the skull
laughing witches on broomsticks
leering black cats
Orange pumpkins with fiery eyes
wild costumes
Every scream frightens
every breath electrifies
Now~~ BOO!

Heavenly Sham

With every religion…
to share in the blame

Masking out God,
in costumes of shame

Seeking to own
what they can’t understand

A covetous folly
—a heavenly sham

Call Me Cousin

I'm short and most costumes don't fit
Halloween found me in a snit
     But I have my answer now
     I just comb my long hair down
Add glasses and I'm Cousin It

Sleep Tight


all his heroes wore costumes at night
wrapped around all their muscles so tight
his chances grew slim
at an outcome so grim 
when his costume exposed – cellulite

Premium Member A Final Sundown

blooms mass in a vase
a vivid get together
days in sun recalled

wild hours of weather
when they were younger so green
remembering scenes

sunset blooms laughing
comparing lovely costumes
in a fragrant room

Premium Member Samhain

Samhain
ancient Celtic festival
marks end of summer
beginning of winter
Celtics believe spirit of dead walk the earth during Samhain
Celebrates them with costumes, bonfires and dancing
The beginning of Halloween

Winter's End

soon we shall all be free
of all upholstered costumes 
and all manners of miners' boots
that infect us with winter edema
and puff us up like flu troubled ostrich
to become angels again
In our cute adidas spikes .

Premium Member What a Ziegfeld Line

Many Ziegfeld Girls started out wearing costumes so fine.
We did not know them, but they were gorgeous and danced in a line.
This photo is amazing from 1941.
It has Hedy Lamar, Judy Garland and Lana Turner, what fun!
