The Spirit Of Halloween
Tomorrow! The eve of merriment approaches!
There have been various “dress rehearsals,” opportunities to don costumes, usually with friends for parties. Here are several images which I captured of my grand daughter and her classmates, enjoying a out-of-doors parade of costumes, accompanied by parents and grand parents.
Additionally here is a delightful poem, a paean to fall.
Halloween
by Robert K. Johnson
Getting into
the spirit of things,
a squirrel admires
our backyard’s
pumpkin decoration
a mouthful
at a time.
Robert K. Johnson writes poems about our everyday world, which, he says, “has always gripped me much more than science-fiction worlds.” A former English professor at Suffolk University in Boston, he was the poetry editor for Ibbetson Street magazine for several years. Robert is the author of four collections; he lives in a suburb near Boston.
