Every Day Halloween

 

All Hallows Eve,

Halloween,

Hungry Ghost Festival,

Tuesday.

 

Snow on our Halloween,

in the Midwest;

or perhaps tiny Trick-or-Treaters,

dressed like snowflakes, no two are alike.

 

Powdered sugar perhaps,

to sweeten the grimness

that has recently prevailed

for so many.

 

The day before All Saints Day,

in which there is likely a long

list of Saints, Saints in waiting

and your classic well-known Saint types.

 

All Saints asking for candy,

door to door,

dressed as Princesses, goblins,

demons, and non-canonical lore.

 

The typical creeping gloom,

of an Autumnal rite of passage,

seems less dreary, when every day,

seems to unleash Halloween horrors, somewhere.

 

The killer at the Summer Camp,

nothing,

the killer in the attic,

a chump.

 

It seems, as of late,

that every day is Halloween,

followed by mourning,

for the fallen Saints.

 

Ding-Dong,

Trick-or-Treat,

here’s a full-sized candy bar,

to dull the impending doom.

 

Happy Halloween!!
