Let the Season Begin
Halloween is coming.
Costumes, children, singing
and tricking for treats or gifts.
Midseason American football,
next is a Marine Corps birthday,
Vet’s Day for live parades,
And the eating of ugly birds.
More football and Black Friday
sales as time to spend, soon
another year is at end, and
off we go to auld lang syne.
After Christmas,
nothing good happens
until Saint Patrick’s Day,
when some damn fool
drinks green beer,
remembering The Troubles.
Halloween,
the threshold of good times,
and New Year’s Day
as we wait out Winter.
Endless beginnings
and sadness of endings.
Spring—the only good thing
about Summer.
The burden of January,
is less than July,
has cause
in mourning the loss
of October’s promise,
the harvest
of November, and
December’s done revelry.
Look both ways along the line of time.
Mind the gaps, bless each day.

It is good. I was worried because 17 had signed up. That would be a handful to manage. Luckily, there were only 8. We finished early. But still. I like it better when I have no responsibility. 🙂
