Spirit

My shirt is orange, pants are black.

It isn’t spirit that I lack,

But every year on Halloween,

I’m more surprised by things I’ve seen.


The stores and houses, all decked out

With spooky creatures all about - 

The spiders, skeletons and bats,

The zombies, witches and black cats…


The Halloween parades at school,

The pumpkin carvings - oh, so cool!

The costumes and the money spent

All make it seem quite evident


That Halloween’s a great escape

And most of us would rather gape

At made-up monsters than to face 

Our real-life fears, so commonplace.
