BOO'S NIGHT!

When I came along Halloween was primarily a 'kid's thing'. Now, the adults have gotten involved as well and there's nothing wrong with that because having fun is a treasure that is open to all ages. But, I am thinking back and...so much has changed from when I was a kid(I'm 78 next month). There were socks filled with all different colored chalks that had been crushed to powder...and one ran from the 'boogie man'...dodging a whack with the sock. I remember that the day after, the streets looked like a kaleidoscopic landscape work of art. One didn't buy costumes(maybe a simple mask), but we made our own costumes. We used old clothes and such, and some put on mom and dad's clothes (high heels and all). Everybody wore lots and lots of make up, usually mom's cosmetics supplies and one never had to worry about goodies being tainted....we just had fun!!! So, I've decided to look at the 'wee' Halloween aspect...little people just having fun. I'm keeping it happy and light with a few Q's.


Poem Artwork

 

wee royal beauty...

precious...with tiara...goes

hear the 'knock'...you know

***

 a lovable 'jest'...

big red lips and orange hair...

smiles...from here to there

*** 

fur ball...with puffed tails

large floppy ears...skipping free

with candy and glee!

*** 

happy delight...squeals 

gum drops packed in a full mouth

north, west, east and south

*** 

nothing scary in

day's pretense...for ones so small

and having a ball!

*** 

adorable tyke

with wire halo and stars

 wings...like from afar

*** 

donned in big bright dots

red and black cute lady bug

simple darlin'...tugs

***

 tradition enjoyed...

young ones know nothing of  "fright"

just... 'free goodies' bites

*** 

keeping it safe with

untainted sweets...costumes bright

enjoyed...on Boo's Night!
