They came in all flavors

So what’s a frog to do?

Butterscotch, chocolate

And plain vanilla, too!

I could try only one

But that wouldn’t be fair

To leave the other two

In the tin, sitting there

So I’ll eat all the crispies

Whatever it takes

And probably wind up with

A wicked stomach ache

Pretty marigolds

Snuggled within the pumpkins

Dream of Halloween

Maniacal beings appear on the spot

Of graves from the others, a most twisted plot

They rise from the underworld, ready to strike

Frightening humans, yes, those they dislike

Rattling bones, they create such a clatter

Run if you must, it won’t really matter

For thieves of the underground

Will search, until you are found

They’re coming to get you, ready or not!

With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2017, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this last year and have amended it to reflect this years date. Let’s party!!

Ignoring the cold

She reaches out to the world

Spreading unending warmth
