A ghostly guttersnipe
crashes the party,
filching chocolate and cider.
The monster hostess
screeches, seizes his elbow,
and serves up a
mash-bash,
brawl-caterwaul,
with argy-bargy on the side.
Elsas let it go. Aragorns
duel orcs. Elves and dwarves
parry swords and words fly.
A giant Zucchini-Trump
is squashed under a spectral
crow’s birdcage.
The party spills onto
the street. The hour’s late.
Dusk passes into deep dark.
A chorus of laughter
rings, clangs and breaks
as costumed fiends
wend their way home
toward a candy-fueled,
spooky inertia.

What a wonderfully weird, wacky Halloween wordle. Perfect use of the words to create a “wild” night of revelry.

Such fun it was to write. I had to include my son’s idea for his costume this year — the Zucchini-Trump. LOL Can’t take credit for the idea, except for the end it came to. 😉
