dVerse: Halloween á la Seuss

dVerse: The Lighter Side of Halloween




i do not like a vampire's teeth
i do not like the  zombies 'neath
the rising new apocalypse
my distance i will truly keep

i do not like things that scare
i would not do even on a dare
i do not like the haunted house
i'd rather be scared by a mouse

i do not like yuck body parts
even on CSI's shooting lot
i do not like things of horror
i keep the door closed
locked ten times over

from trick or treaters
i still hide
within the dark
safely inside


(I'm sorry but I won't be reading others' for fear of running into something ghoulish and triggering.)

  1. smiles...it has a cadence much like dr seuss...i am not a huge fan of senseless violence which much of horror has degraded to...you made good steps this season though...a pumpkin in the house...smiles.

  3. Must be tough to hold this fear,
    especially this time of year.
    Guess just best to remember
    one week more and its November!
    We'll be past the spooky stuff.
    That's it for now, have said enough!

  5. I forgive you. I, too, hide and pace and wait for it all to go away--except little kids cute with accompanying parents.

  6. It can spawn the most sinister true stories...but then they happen any time of year...like the CSI connection ;)

    1. Thanks for being a frequent visitor here, katy. You are right. I'm a listener of CSI, NCIS, and most of Criminal Minds. Hubby also tells me when not to look up.
