"The hag is astride
     This night for to ride,
The devil and she together;
     Through thick and through thin,
     Now out and then in,
Though ne'er so foul be the weather."
(Exert from "The Hag" by Robert Herrick)
******************************************
All Hallows Eve
*
Away, the ark of light recedes
And shrieking witches, earthbound fly,
Zombies trailing after make
The tethered dogs and bitches cry,
Perplexing all their masters.
*
Lines of ghouls out in the street
And Goblins, ladies
Dressed up indiscreet
Hanging on the arms of mobsters.
GI Joes and Wonder Women,
All out begging, candy giving.
*
TV heroes, Fae's and princes
Presidents, and pigs and witches
Children fearful, wolfy men
Clowns on stilts,
Up high, they stand...
I wish I was a child again.

Yes, 'tis the season that is upon us!

As a child the mystique was in the unknown ~ As an adult we know such dark and evil things exist! Wonder is lost with knowledge!
BOO!

Happy Halloweeny Hugs,
EA
