Halloween
Most of you go out
on that kinky night
dressed to the hilt
for laughter and fright
Did you ever ponder
if the act could imply
that within the costume
hints of masochism lie?
You might carry a whip
Or maybe a chain
hoping to frighten
while playing the game
they say a masochist
gets the real thrill
not from getting the pain
but also the chill
Does this not actually
remind in you fact
of an S & M scene
with a little tact?
The men dress as women
women dress as men
an act of honesty
other days condemn
You see with this quandary
I take away the mask
what are You wearing
for Halloween, I ask?

Poetry: Halloween
In the old cemetery Halloween night,
The low moon was full and bright,
But intermittently obscured by thin wispy clouds.
And
On old hollow eve he first was seen
Riding a black horse with sword in air
A figure draped in black, a frighting fiend
CEMETERY SCENE:
‘Twas late in the evening
One Halloween
When I happened
upon this scene
Being lowered into a grave
The other side of Halloween...
Autumn cast its pallet
over Summer's ripened fruit
as harvest bares the fields once more
by Jack Ivey
It’s late this night of Halloween
I’m lost and quite alone
Walking down an empty street
To find my way back
