I live for Halloween
I exist for Autumn
through the Spring, through the Summer
through Holidays
that celebrate hearts, Christmas trees and Eggs.
I live for Halloween
if you can call it that
from my home
made of granite
and
stone.

Daily Addictions Prompt: THEME
A breathtaking
classic beauty
all of her friends say
she writes poetry
collects art
breaks hearts
she swears like a man
screws with abandon
who wouldn’t want to be her?
Oh if only it could be me!
Sadly I must confess.
I will horrify you
stun you
give you nightmares
with a word, with a phrase
with one good look at my face
Nobody wants to be me
on purpose.
The gargoyle on the roof of the cathedral
is me.
That will always been me.
The Grotesque among the stars.
Daily Addictions Prompt: Ornate
I think this year for Halloween
I will not be dreary, dark or mean.
I think this year
I will
try to have fun
I’ll bake some cookies, carve some pumpkins
and only hang glittery, family friendly decorations.
I think this year for Halloween
I will not raise the dead,
curse the living
or cut off anybody’s head.
I think this year for Halloween
I’ll be like everyone else
who lives on my street.
I will be a folksy
conservative and quiet in both thought and deed
because nothing is as terrifying
as being normal
to me.
