So here we are in my favorite month of the year. If I had a wish to make, I'd ask for it to be October for 6 months straight!
I think many of you may know the song Julie Andrews sang in the movie The Sound of Music called My Favorite Things. Well, when I was working on some Halloween projects, the melody came to mind and I penned the following poem to that melody. If you can recall it, sing it to that melody while you read. (If not, just Google 'song My Favorite Things' and it'll take you to a YouTube page where you can here her sing)
Shall we do it together? Here we go. . .
Pumpkins and broomsticks black cats with their Witches,
Cauldrons and Ravens crows on spooky branches,
Dark clouds surround the full moon like a claw,
Skulls with their bones and the ghosts Oh so tall!
Black candles with red flames black hats pointed so sharp,
Ghouls and ghosts floating that glow in the black dark,
Kids in their costumes chanting loud Trick or Treats,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Orange and black lights on bushes and windows,
Carved pumpkins on doorsteps wicked smiles all aglow,
Haunting the air feels with magical beings,
These are a few of my favorite things!
When the crow caws, when the owls screech, when the days are shorter than nights,
I know it's that time of the year called October and then soon will be. . .
All Hallows Eve!!
