Reprising my Post Eve Of Halloween.
From October 30th of the most frightful year of all.
2020
*****
Yes,
it is the day before
Halloween
when people who celebrate the
Day Of The Dead
begin the ritual of scaring themselves
and their loved ones with stories
and poetry of the macabre.
Trick-or-Treating is tomorrow
and I plan on reading the
Raven
by
Edgar Allen Poe
out loud to the kids who knock on my door,
watching all the
Tree House Of Horror
episodes from the
Simpsons,
and covering my eyes when my kids put on the
Squid Game
on
Netflix.
If you are like me,
reading terrifying stories
and poetry is far more entertaining to the mind then watching all the special effects
Hollywood
can cook up.
So,
for your weekend pleasure,
here are some links to frightful
Poems
and scary
Stories.

This is,
There Is Plenty More Where That Came From Under The Headings Of Poetry And Short Stories & Flash Fiction
Jim Hauenstein
And,
“Eye
of newt, and toe of frog, wool of bat, and tongue of dog, adder's
fork, and blind-worm's sting, lizard's leg, and owlet's wing.
For a charm of powerful trouble, like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn, and caldron bubble.”

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
