happy halloween!!
Here are a couple spooky poems that
Sir Laughsalot and I have been reading ....
THEME IN YELLOW
I spot the hills ...
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvestmoon:
I am a jack-o-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know ...
I am fooling.

NOVEMBER NIGHT
Listen............
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisped, break from the trees
And fall.

Halloween always brings back such vivid memories of trick or treating in Massachusetts as a child...how cold it was!
I've been told I look like Meryl Streep many times. I guess from a certain angle?
I recently read an essay for our local PBS station about blogging! I wanted to explain it to everyone! I'll post it soon maybe with a link to the sound.
I love it that you read poetry to your son!
Adelaide Crapsey? was that really her name?
To answer your question, we were there on Oct. 10th through the 18th.
yes- that's really her name. the poems are from a "haunted poems" book we checked out from the library. when i read the name to my son, he laughed of course.
