dVERSE & OCTPOWRIMO – “WARM or COLD?”
***
WARM OR COLD?
Trick or treat through the snow
Shivering ghosts, and goblins, you know
Since all they get is frozen feet
Makes more sense to conserve the heat
Stay cozy and warm by the fire
Just go buy all the treats you desire

This time I’m combining two poetry challenges into this one poem.
One is for OctPoWriMo, which is October Poetry Writing Month, for Poets on the Page, and the prompt word for today was ‘senseless’.
Here is their link:

One is for dVerse Poets, and the prompt for today’s poetics was to use at least two ‘homophones’. The ones I used were, since/sense, and by/buy.

Chuckling from this one! I do remember some very cold and wet halloween nights when my kids went out and came back so cold and dripping wet from rain or sleet. But their comment was always, “but mom, it’s supposed to be spooky out there tonight!” 🙂 Don’t think many young kids would settle for a bag of candy in front of the fire. Sure makes SENSE to me though, SINCE I don’t like eerie nights anyway! 🙂 So glad you posted, Barbara! Come back again and do meander and imbibe some other homophones from our other dVerse writers! 🙂
Thanks, Lillian! I know my girls wanted to show off their costumes, but many times it was too cold or rainy, and they had to wear a coat. Takes all the fun out of it. A nice warm fire, snug in a blanket, and a bowl of treats sounds good to me. 🙂 Wishing you a fun and super wonderful trip! I’m about to take a trip through the links to see what everyone has posted!
Teehee. I like this. 😉
Thanks, De! 🙂 It was fun to write it!
Ha, getting treats for free,,, wonderful
Thanks, Bjorn! Halloween is always a fun time of the season. 🙂
what fun- can feel the atmosphere
Thanks! Trick or treating is more fun when you’re not shivering in your costume! 🙂
An enjoyable, seasonal poem, Barbara! I like the image of shivering ghosts and goblins.
Thank you! This time of year you never know if it will be warm or cold outside. Kids don’t want to give up their fun, though, even if freezing. 🙂
Oh I love this 😀 such a fun poem to read out aloud ❤️
Thank you, Sanaa! Hope you are doing well. I’ve been so behind on taking part in your poetry challenges. Hope to join in again soon. xo
Fun poem, Barbara, and perfect for the season! I definitely vote for stay by the fire.
Thank you, Victoria! Hopefully the weather will be nice for the kids this year. 🙂
A fun Halloween treat!!
Thanks so much! Can’t believe October is almost gone already! 🙂
A happy poem for Halloween. As a child, I never trick or treated. Can’t say as I missed anything.
Thank you, Brian. We had lots of fun as kids. 🙂
