Never too old! by cindy tevis


(graphic by blackhappiness22)

By Cindy Tevis

It's the big night once again
now you don't need to pretend
That you are to old for this fun!

Dress up and go knocking
at the doors you'll be stopping
getting treats from everyone!

So they want to look under
your mask, and they wonder
how old of kid you must be.

Let them be nosy and bold
You know that you're not too old!
after all, your a mere ninety-three.

Steven's poetry #3!

Third in the series
By Steven Curran



The Rose Calamity


Have you ever really looked
At a boquet of roses
The eyes and the ears
The mouths and the noses...

For when you do buy them
They are pretty my friend
But has anyone ever told you
What takes place start to end...

They are put in a vase
That is filled half with water
And herein the beginning
Of all the disorder...

At first they stand straight
Seen by the naked eye
But can you see their legs and arms
Oh no, its no lie...

They reach out to choke
The other one's stem
With the most pompous of attitudes
They could never be friends...

It's a fierce competition
To see who can last
And the ones that wilt over
To the nether so do pass...

For the last rose is standing
All others have died
And to her mighty glory
An ill-fated surprise...

In short time comes the human
With outstretching hands that thrash
Firm grip upon the roses
Snatched up in a flash...

And for a brief moment
If that rose only knew
What was considered victorious
Was a farce through and through...

Thrown away to the garbage
Together laid to rest
And the biggest lesson learned
Interdependence or death...

Next time they will work
Together as one
To escape the evil vase
And RUN RUN RUN...
