January 1st, 2009make me a child again
Backward, turn backward,
O Time, in your flight
make me a child again
just for to-night!

January 1st, 2009Tonight is Halloween!
Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!”
~Dexter Kozen
January 1st, 2009Leaping into darkness with delight
Hobgoblins know the proper way to dance:
Arms akimbo, loopy legs askew,
Leaping into darkness with delight,
Lusting for the ecstasy of fright,
Open to the charm of horrors new….
~Nicholas Gordon
January 1st, 2009On Hallowe’en the thing you must do
On Hallowe’en the thing you must do
Is pretend that nothing can frighten you
And if somethin’ scares you and you want to run
Just let on like it’s Hallowe’en fun.
January 1st, 2009On Halloween, witches come true;
On Halloween, witches come true;
Wild ghosts escape from dreams.
Each monster dances in the park….
~Nicholas Gordon
January 1st, 2009On All Hallow Eve
You wouldn’t believe
On All Hallow Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.
~Carolyn Wells
January 1st, 2009Excuse for Halloween everyday
Being in a band
you can wear whatever you want -
it’s like an excuse for Halloween everyday.
~Gwen Stefani
