Happy Howl-o-ween!



An October Night by Charles Audette

The wind whispers
A wary warning
There was plenty, still
Early this morning

These primal urges
Are hard to fight
An unholy diet
A dark appetite

The pavement scrapes
With scuttling leaves
I'll pull the drapes
And hope to deceive

The moon suffocates
In ominous clouds
Shut off the lights
Heartbeats too loud

Then the neighbor's gate creaks
But it's not the wind
That seeks to feast
On fearing humans

Red brake lights
A car crawls by slow
The shadowy shapes
On my dark doorstep know

That the empty window
Of my house lies.
The horrible truth
Hides deep inside

Everything tonight
Could have been just dandy
But now the demons have wrath-
Cause I ate all the candy!

Happy Halloween!

You had me going with that poem. At the end I had a much-needed belly laugh.

That's what I love about you, buddy. Here you are getting poked and tested, and you're making all of us feel better.

Goober love & healing smooches,
