Halloween Party
For "Friday Writings" we have been invited to write poetry or prose set on Halloween.
. . .
Went to a Halloween party
Dressed our best for the occasion
Masks of lamp shades, white dangling cords
Plugs wrapped so no one plugged us in
Parked in back, sneaked in the front door
Hoping no one recognized us
We gazed around we were amazed
Orange Pumpkins danglin on ropes
Along the ceiling wall to wall
From corner to corner they were
Everyone dressed in camouflage
Bright colors matching the flowers
Flowers all colors taped to walls
And some were ghosts, wolves, and tigers
Cinderellas and Beyonces
We had six dances then judgements
Hopeful, lined in a ring around
All had worked so hard, prizes good
Cute Cinderella first, Wolfe next
Came the Lamp Shades we came in last

My son dressed up as a 'cost of living' chart. People screamed.
Ha ha!

My 'ha ha' was to Cosmo. I enjoyed your party adventure too, Jim. I have never been to a Halloween party. Although we have copied Halloween from the USA, we're still not really big on it in Australia; not like you are. I dare say there are some parties now, but when I was young enough to be interested, we didn't even have Halloween here.
For my money, your lampshade costumes would have won FIRST prize ~ How very clever.
Lamp shades would be a great idea! Cinderella? Too common, I've never seen lamp shades.
