The first three fill me with the warm fuzzies, Lori, in the sense that I feel they address the exuberance of childhood innocence "behind the freakin mask!"... but my goodness, the counterpoint of the fist in the velvet glove of the fourth! The stark reality of life that is a living hell for some. Yes, this holiday is largely taken in fun, but can we be surprised if there's an upsurge in grievous bodily violence on the back of it? We jollify, glorify and act out gore then condemn the real thing... seems crazy to me... But I'll not be the spectre at the feast! Great Ku as always. thanks, Kate xx
Very entertaining...as Kuul as they come. I read the last two stanzas two different ways and prefer to look at it like Jerry and his red light district sense of humor. The other way puts a bit of a damper on of sadness on it all. Tie goes to the reader.Patrick
Each one is so clever, Lori, I loved them all. I love Halloween and I also love writing Halloween poems. I guess it is time to start thinking about doing that.
Take care,

Tasked by his Goddess to find, relocate, and then quicken, the last three Heart Tree gem-seeds, Vanx the bard, and his motley crew of adventurers, set out to do just that.
