It’s Day 2 of Halloween.
On Day 2 of Halloween my love gave to me two ravens saying ‘nevermore’.

With ‘nevermore’ being said this brings me to today’s rambling.
I have always loved that Edgar Allan Poe poem “THE RAVEN”. The first time I read it was in eighth grade. It’s one poem that I find difficult for many to recite aloud. I’ve always thought a certain type voice can only do it justice.
A few days ago I downloaded the complete tales and poem collection by Poe. As it’s Halloween month, I plan to read a tale a day and/or poem. This will be a new October tradition.
As I read Day one’s tale, I thought about other authors who write macabre stories. I looked through my ebooks and noticed I have a few in the paranormal genre that I have read the past few Halloween seasons. I enjoyed reading a variety of authors, but wanted to concentrate this year on one. I found it takes no time to read one of the Poe tales as compared to a full novel or novelette.
It gives me few a bit more time to concentrate on writing and trying to compose perhaps a fall or Halloween piece.
Yesterday I began my celebration of Halloween. Yes I am wearing the black and orange. Brought out of storage my silver bangle spider bracelet. I have a new skull and spider necklace I commissioned to have made for me which I am wearing. Got my yearly bag/bags of candy corn. I put out my black and orange flamingos in my yard and decorated inside. Unsure of my little give-aways for this year but still have time to decide. These are my yearly October traditions.
Both fall and Halloween are in the air at least for me. Football (college only) is watched every Saturday. Apple cider sits in my fridge and pumpkin spice bread for my morning toast.
Traditions are good to have; no matter how strange.
Until tomorrow it’s not too late to begin your own October traditions.
