Halloween Party

  For "Friday Writings" we have been invited to write poetry or prose set on Halloween. 

 . . .

   

 

       Party Time 

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 Trips

. . . 

   

. . . 

Vertical Traveler;  Satellite Machine 

" I traversed the world 

From top to bottom 

Then bottom to top 

Beautiful scenery 

Different every trip 

Over and over 

Circles round the world 

The world circled too 

Bulge in my belly 

Camera through the hole 

They send the photos 

Back to headquarters 

Big time spy am I "

 - I'm writing for the poetry blog named "What's Going on".  Here is the prompt: "For this prompt, write about things or ideas that remain the same despite life's events.  We live in a world where even positive values seem to be temporary  and time specific.  But what is unchanging, what can we count on, or what do we hope is timeless or everlasting?"
