On Halloween

FullSizeRender (1)

I wrote this in grade school…

On Halloween

Who would ride a broomstick

As the witches do –

Straight across the pebbly stars

On a street of blue?

I should! I should!

(if mother came, too)

Who would take a wildcat,

With eyes all yellow-green

To ride upon his broomstick

Late on Halloween?

I should! I should!

(if mother sat between)

    Cute! I can see you riding your broomstick!

  2. Love this! I can see the budding writer even that far back — and the wonderful relationship with your mother.

  3. This is delightful and shows the promise of the writing to come. ❤

  4. Even then you were a better poet than I’ll ever be Karen.

    Which begs the question…how many people can fit on a broomstick? 🙂
