Break Out the Gear

A Halloween Poem

It's almost time

To break out the gear

All Hallows' Eve

Will soon be here

I'll hone the blade

Of my machete

Make sure the shovel's

At the ready

I'll kill but once

And without haste

I need some blood

And more than a taste

It's almost time

To quench my thirst

And truth be known

I've done much worse

My favorite holiday....but I do try not to kill anyone...maybe just a cut.

Thanks. I actually dread it each year, but love to make poetry out of the mood it evokes. ~Jim
