Good morning, everyone!!
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has helped make this blog successful. I can’t imagine what it would be like without the many friendships I have made (and more to come) these past four years. I never dreamed it would be this cool 🙂
When I started this blog, I was actually reporting on current events, until I decided it was time to release some of my poetry. Scared doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt. But the WordPress community welcomed me with open arms. It is truly an amazing feeling! Because of your support, I was able to publish nine poetry books, with number 10 coming shortly. I couldn’t have done it without you.
So, here’s to you, my friends, and to many years ahead. Once again, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤

Halloween, it’s trick or treat
Does that make it sickly sweet?
Would you prefer a devilish trick?
Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick
Beware the goblins chasing ghosts
They’ll scare you out of your earthly host
Perhaps it’s better to just stay in
Away from all the spirited din
Remember, keep your doors shut tight
And turn on all the outside lights
Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats
And of course, those skeletons, riding bats
Beware of those who come your way
Unfriendly beings are not sweet today

It was risky but there was this overwhelming desire to just do it. What if something went wrong? She was being silly. Nothing could go wrong. She made her way through the path, toward the ivy covered towers, and through to the castle doors. Pushing hard against them, she entered the chamber, cautiously looking about, hoping to find nothing or no one that would put a stop to her quest. As she turned again, there he stood. Her heart stopped, as a sinister sneer crept across his face. She encountered the one thing she never gave a second thought. Death.
