Mango joins me in adoration of this new anthology. I'm simply gobsmacked to be included in such a sea of talent.

This one was awesome. Not sure if I'm supposed to like or comment, though.
But, if you're a publishing type, do yourself a favor and run with this book!

When Billy Doc died
We turned him to #ash
Passed him all around
And all agreed to leave him about the world
Then send a photo.
Which joined others
In an album dubbed
Where the hell is Bill?

So far he's made it to 6 continents.

Sandals with socks

5 Little Witches
Riding on a broom. (fingers up)
Out on Halloween night
Underneath the moon (hand circle)
One fell off (spin index)
Squashed her hat (clap)
Had to walk home
With a spooky Black Cat

Hsssss (claws)

4 Little Witches..

Halloween Season Poetry:

A Haiku

Pumpkin bright orange
defaced to add a new face
Frightening us all.

Funny to me how #advert
Sounds like avert your eyes
But I guess a sale can avail to
Hide what's overpriced.

Sickly sweet perfume
Grapes lost to early fall winds
Gather and ferment

I.
Eroded
Limberness
Adds
Sore
Tightness
I
Contemplate younger me.

II.
Sorry to say
There's no bouncing back
This #elastic seems stretched to snap
So watch your eyes
Then gather your thread
We'll stitch something better together instead.

Two-sided Pampas
Plumes sway with breeze slashing leaves
Princess and pirate
