Halloween is on the way

allowing for all sorts of scary fun

letting us laugh

letting us scream our delight

occupying our thoughts of what we may be

wearing scary, fun, something in between

entering into fantasy for a night and

exiting reality, a little for safety's sake

noteworthy costumes and all that candy one receives.

Halloween a time

of tricks and treats given to all

who dare to go out.

    ☺️ Enjoy! We unfortunately don’t celebrate Halloween much in Australia. Some kids go out trick or treating sometimes, and I went to a Halloween party many years ago now and dressed up. Yet overall it’s not as popular over here.

    Who dare is right. Extra careful of evil spiking of candy treats. still, who wants to live in fear and have no fun at all.
