this guy and his cat
the jack sparrow pirate from the carribean type
of the skeleton world
hat tilted back
a bit of drink
to keep him hydrated
his jolly roger
may have flown somewhere in france
welcomes all
relaxed and confident
not bothered by anything
seen his share of scraps
even being in a giant web
only having one foot
no hands
a cat with an eye patch
sitting on deck
of my daughter’s porch.
now, this mixed family
skeleton parents and dog
kids and clowns of all kinds
all ages and stages
everyone welcome
they do not discriminate
lots of hugs for all
love everyone to be at the party
outdoorsy types.

love my neighborhood
all are welcome

a trip to the haunted forest
with one daughter
two pre-teen grandies
and me
hearts pumping, adrenaline spiking
three generations
shrieking and running the whole way through!

“what terrified me will terrify others;
and i need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.” –mary shelley
I am absolutely devastated. Someone stole my inflatable giant sandworm right off my lawn sometime between last night and this afternoon. I didn’t notice if it was gone when I left for work this morning. I don’t know who would do such a thing.
quite a few people responded and almost every single person
answered with a variation of the same 3 words:
‘check the frats.’

living in a college town, and three weeks before halloween, this is great advice.
(it may just be me, but i think this would be a hard one to hide)

walking around
on halloween night
cold
with a bit of snow flying
coming upon
a briliant idea
a very large pumpkin
transformed into a driveway bonfire
trick or treaters
chilled to the bone
gathered ’round
like moths to the flame.

when i woke up on halloween morning
and finally, finally, i am a pinata
even cocoa the sweet dog joined in the fun
no candy in here
but luckily my kind colleagues
were the candy to my pinata.
“i feel like a human pinata. the disappointing thing is, no candy is going to spill out.”
-katie couric
happy halloween!

this is not me, but we both have eaten our fill (and then some), of candy
before giving what’s left of it to halloween trick-or-treaters tomorrow night.
