Here’s another collaboration with the good folks at Charles House. We reminisced about Halloweens of our youth, I read a few poems, including Poe’s The Raven (which technically isn’t a Halloween poem since he explicitly states that it occurs in bleak December) and then we wrote this.
Trick or Treat
The moon rises chilly
fiery Jack beckons
from the front porch
Our costumed crew
a ghost
a butterfly
a wizard
and Frankenstein
Demanding treats
candy corn
chocolate bars
licorice
but all we get
are apples
Once the indoor lamps
are extinguished
we return with eggs
and soap to fulfill
our part of the bargain
Great poem. Am I allowed to say “Adorable”? :)

I don’t know. “Adorable” just doesn’t seem right for a Halloween poem. It’s like making Moriarty wear a pirate costume.
