Halloween, Halloween..

"Sixteen times I heard the sinister  laugh!

9 steps through October

Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is the painter's art. ~William Shakespear

Hallow Fourth

The world of Halloween is a lovely and benighted place. The sky is orange, the tea is violet, and a new tragedy opens with every costume. Witches, ghouls, fiends, and mobs of rabid vampire-eating bunnies-- just when it seems like things can't get any spookier-they do. Some say that one's reward on october 31st is based on the spirit of the hallow throughout the year. If so, there may be hope yet.

~A.O.

October 1st

...Unknown spears,

Suddenly hurtle before my dream-awakened eyes,

And then the clash of fallen horsemen and the cries.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Ha!

At the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window

~Pablo Neruda

Steel Pumpkin grin

Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?

~William Shakespear

Your the one for me, Fatty!

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one I really, really love
And I will stay
Promise you'll say
If I'm in your way!

~The Smiths

A cluster of fiends.

A spooky conflux coming on halloween night?

perhaps a crawly congregation of unearthly consideration.

Hallow=yikes!

The first movement of the autumn season is the day of the year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward (Today). This day is known as the Autumnal Equinox.

Do the candy corn twilight chomp!

"Would you please pass the jelly!"
