Halloween in May: Poem and Event

Ever hear of Christmas in July--as if it doesn't already last two months as it is. Well, I've been waiting six months to do this, ever since I wrote the following poem. Yes, it's Halloween in May. Look forward to horror movie and book reviews, photos from my horror collection, more horror short stories on Smashwords.com, horror lists and maybe some more horror poetry--not sure what else I might do, but it all starts with the poem.

Halloween in May

The pumpkins on the railing

Are wilting

One looks like an old man without

Any teeth

But the life size skeleton

Is still on my office door

And when I go home tonight

The eyeball lights around the doorframe

Will give me enough light to get my key in the lock

The scary stuff is on sale at the stores

While the happy stuff has taken over

But I’m thinking

of making

A pilgrim hat

for my skeleton

And then a Santa hat and maybe even a new year’s eve hat too

And I will keep it all up for a ridiculously long time

Like people keep up

their Christmas lights all year long

Until it all catches on and we make it official

Halloween in May
