HALLOWEEN....Day Twenty-Eight

 

Short read 

It’s Wednesday today. The Fall/Halloween words today, GHOST and SPIRITS.   I did an acrostic about leaves and fall using the words.  I came up with how leaves are part of the rotation in the seasons. They are born in spring, give us shade in summer and color our world in the fall.  In winter they are gone but come spring, the cycle begins again.  The second verse came from the idea of making a Halloween card for an individual.  I thought what would be cute to have a light hearted verse about ghost and spirits.  It was fun to compose in the time period I did have. 

Today is National Chocolate Day and Champagne Day.  They seem to go together for some reason.  Like bacon everything goes with chocolate.  

It’s only a few days till Halloween and I see candy stores having sales.  Of course I’ve already seen Christmas candy out there ready to be purchased and consumed.  

Have a great day.  

Until next time....as always Stay Safe.

 Gone soon will be the colorful leaves of 

     autumn 

How bare the trees will be until spring 

       arrives

 Of course it is just the cycle of the seasons 

Spring brings renewed life and greenery to 

       the earth

The buds will appear on the trees for new 

      leaves 

Summer they will shade us from the 

      scorching sun

And will again change to brilliant 

     colors come fall 

Never ending goes the evolvement of the 

        seasons

Days of autumn hues will end, winter will 

       make itself known 

Spring will again return, then dog days of 

       summer, then the fall 

Providing once more the glorious hues of 

     the trees 

It always appears autumn never last as long 

      as the winter

Ready to prepare for cold dismal gray 

         days of December through March 

Inasmuch as we know that fall will soon end 

     

The preparation for winter we wait till       

      the first snowfall 

Still for this year, we can enjoy the fall 

      leaves for a few more weeks

Ghosts and spirits roam the earth 

On the night of Halloween 

The monsters come out to scare us

As vampires and witches make the scene

Ghosts and spirits roam the earth

From the witching hour until the dawn

If you look out your window closely

You’ll see them dancing on the lawn

Ghosts and spirits roam the earth

It is such a sight to see

But you can only see them once a year

On the night of Halloween
