I decided to look at the'fun' rather than the scary side of Halloween, and came up with this little treat - Hope it gives you a smile!

Hallowe'en Fairies?

They're rarely seen

On Hallowe'en,

But you might hear them call;

With twittering notes,

In colourful coats,

Hiding out in the leaves

Every Fall.

They fly through the trees,

And land where they please,

Filling the air with their giggles;

When you're not aware,

They'll pull on your hair,

And laugh as they watch

You squiggle! 

You don't need to run,

They just want to have fun,

They'd rather have smiles

Than candy,

So this Hallowe'en,

If those fairies are seen,

Just keep your best laughs handy!

A Sad Ghost Story!

Halloween - You either hate it or love it, for a whole host of different reasons.   With so many serious issues facing everyone, perhaps it is a good time to take a break from all of the negatives, and to just get down and play with your inner child.   I decided that I would do that this morning, and the result was this little poem that popped into my head and said Boo!  Lighten up!

A Sad Ghost Story

Booooo hooo hooo!   cried  Cornelius ghost,

I'm much too sad

To boo and boast;

I snagged my sheet on an old street post,

And it crumbled up like a piece of toast!

This Halloween, if a cold wind shrieks,

Don't look for witches or crazy freaks,

Just listen for my boo hoo hoo's

It's only me - no sheet, no shoes!

Now you can't see me,

Even when I'm  close,

Oh, I miss my comfortable  sheet the most!

Booooo hoooo hoooooo!
