Here’s me in costumes when I was a kid. One I was a gypsy lady (with my sister), and one in a paper bag costume.
Our family had quite a few Halloween Costume parties over the years. We’d all dress up, have games, snacks, a homemade haunted house in the cellar, and I’d read an original spooky story of mine, complete with props, like peeled grapes for eyeballs, and spaghetti noodle innards. Sometimes, we’d even have a ‘white elephant’ gift exchange game, with oddball gifts to snatch and trade. We had lots of fun! 🙂

Happy Halloween – A Ballad for Jack

A Halloween Poem I wrote in 2015

A BALLAD FOR JACK
Out in the garden, way in the back,
A tangle of vines did grow.
There was a secret, hidden away,
For only me to know.
I watered and tended this special vine,
And, day by day it grew.
Soon, it revealed an orange orb…
I was the only one who knew.
I was so happy, I talked to it…
In fact, I named him Jack.
He grew up big and strong, that gourd…
I think he liked me back.
Then as the days grew cooler yet,
And, the sun was feeling dim,
I wanted Jack to stay with me,
But, it was time to part from him.
And, so it came, that sad, sad day…
Jack said it would be fine…
I took my knife and severed him…
I cut him from the vine.
I cried a river, but through my tears,
Jack looked at me and smiled…
He said to carve a great big grin,
For every little child.
And, so I did, I carved a face
For Jack’s big orange head.
Now, every Halloween night that comes,
Jack’s eyes shine bright, instead.
