Because Thali is so uniquely awesome, if I do say so myself, I've decided to have a Halloween themed poetry contest. The winners get prizes, of course. I'm looking for the most original, the one that fits the form used best, one that fits the mood, and... Well. Basically if enough people enter, we will have five winners.

Rules (AKA: You don't follow these and you don't get a prize!)

~Keep it clean, a rule of thumb is that good poetry doesn't contain swear words.
~Keep to the Code!
~Be polite to all who enter.
~No guilt tripping or asking people not to enter.
~I know quite a bit about poetry, from couplets to haikus. I, Thali, shall be judge.

Come with me, witches
Fly across the harvest moon
For its Hallow's Eve
Let our mirth fill the night skies
Let our laugh be heard
And wait for the sacred words
Child's voice, "Trick or Treat!"
There is our invitation
Let us weave our spells
For it is All Hallow's Eve
Till the toll of bells
Signal midnight's arrival
Ending Hallow's Eve.





Following the haiku pattern of 5-7-5-7....ect. smile

II so long farewell II

As your heart beats fast on this moonless night,
Embrace the cold and invite your fright.
For this is the time where the darkness comes back
To haunt our steps with its inky black.

As you walk through the gloom with a sack in your hand
And a mind for sweets that you will demand,
Be mindful of the shadows that evade your eye,
For they are spirits of those that in the coffin lie.

Be brave, young one, and be strong, for although your fears may rule,
You have to think of and honor those that at which life was cruel.
Bow your head and pray for those who were hanged for being a witch,
And pray for those who never got the memo of which button they had to switch.

For although this night is for merriment, it is also for remembrance.
So sing a song, say a prayer, or even do an honorable dance...

For it is the Day of The Dead...
And it is Halloween.
