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!!
