Poetry: Halloween costumes

by Denise Baer

Created on: October 06, 2009

From ghost to vampire
What will she decide?
We wait and enquire
Not ready to confide

Will our wishes be met
Through smiles or fright?
Avoid another debt,
And a possible fight?

Impatient, we must ask
Though always the same,
"Not sure I want a mask,
But how about a flame?"

We stare, suspicious
From such a request
Didn't want malicious,
Is it time to suggest?

Too old as a lion
Too young as an Eve
Confused and starts cryin'
Dries her tears with a sleeve

"Sweet child be whatever
Your heart's desire
And it will be clever
Your choice in attire
