Halloween, Oh Halloween

 

It’s that special time of year again

So come as your not…

 

you can go with tradition

And be a haunting ghost

To hide from those demons

For one brief moment.

 

Go as that princess

You’ve always dreamed of being

So you can captivate Prince Charming

That’s also at the party…

 

Just remembering

He’s also in disguise.

 

Step into the limelight

As your favorite celebrity

And pretend this gathering

Is the Oscars or Grammys.

 

The Choices are endless if you like

To give a good fright,

Like a witch or vampire

And if you enjoy electricity

How bout Frankenstein.

 

But for a really good scare

There’s an endless array of politicians

To make your agenda clear.

 

Halloween, oh Halloween

How I love thee

For it is the one day a year

It’s acceptable to not be you.

Humor hides several pointed barb, I like watching the unthinking snag themselves.
I guess I have a warped mind, I once went to a Halloe E'en party as a "Dear John" letter, dressed as a toliet with a letter taped to the tank--told ya', warped mind.

*evil grin . . . now you know you aren't 100 percent correct in that assessment. Some of us use that time of year to come as we are :P
Nice

This is Halloween, this is Halloween ... awesome poem. :) But I was expecting something a little more... steamy from you.

[Tina Kline]

I love this, its very fun and cheerful, and describes that very special aspect of Halloween, come as your not because you can who ever or what ever you want on Halloween.

Ah haha...I love: "But for a really good scare
There’s an endless array of politicians
To make your agenda clear."

Very clever. Cool write Cowboy.

"Just remembering
He's also in disguise"

Very clever.

Like what you said in the last two lines, that's the reason Halloween surpasses just about all other holidays for me.

A good write with a deeper content than meets the eye at first read. Yes who doesn't like to show off to be more or better than one truly is...
Yeah you got me thinking and smiling here especially with:
