I came home on Halloween night
on my steps I saw a terrible sight
c’mon that make up’s way overdone
but Ghouls just wanna have fun

Not a fairy or princess in sight
just ghouls creating a dreadful fright
I want my mummy, now I’ve gotta run
’cause Ghouls just wanna have fun

FPQ # 45 – Creativity

Fandango has a really fascinating Provocative Question today and I thought I’d take a bash at exercising the ole’ cerebellum. Fandango asks:

Are there limits to human creativity? Is it be possible for humans to create something completely novel and new that is based on nothing that previously existed? Or is human creativity just rearranging and building on previous ideas?

31 days of October Challenge – Black Cats

Today’s 31 days of October Challenge is brought to you by the rantings and ravings of my own mind spurred by Melanie at Sparksfromacombustiblemind who has some really creepy phobias (I’m right there with you on clowns girl).

I can’t think of Halloween without remembering my black cats. I’ve had several. Boo Boo was probably my favorite, so black she was almost red, slitted, creepy yellow eyes. The very thing cat phobias are made of but she was adorable and precious. Anyone who has ever had a cat partner will tell you, nobody owns a cat, especially a black cat.

31 days of October challenge Some Kitchen Witchery

For 31 days of October challenge. Todays thoughts were inspired by Beckiesmentalmess do pop over and give her Witchy Poem a read.

Now first off, I love all types of witchery but by far my favorite is Kitchen Witchery. Secondly, it’s flipping cold and windy in mid-October and soups and teas are just my thing right now.

31 Days of October Challenge day 20 – Colder Weather

For the 31 Days of October Challenge. Blame it on the nasty turn in the weather here in the Black Hills, but the Octobery thing on my mind today is colder weather

Colder

Rain falls and turns to sleet
Souls pass by but never meet
In the darkest hours people hold
each other against the cold
But I always passed by
no tears left to cry

But we have warmth and fire
and all that we desire
blinding cold removed from sight
hold me in your arms, so tight
As our love drives back the cold
take my hand and let it snow

Til next time ~Peace ~JPP

31 days of October – day 18 – The Nightmare

For the 31 days of October challenge, I’ve chosen the subject of Candy, do pop over and check out all the really creepy cool contributions

The Nightmare

cellophane wrappers shiny and bright
shrieking done in pure delight
nightmares walk in broad daylight

childish demons hidden deep inside
the candy parents snatch and hide
while children sneak and try to find

snickers, reese’s, twix and more
smarties strewn all across the floor
good manners left outside the door

the four year old with angry screams
waistlines bursting at the seams
It’s not a nightmare, it’s Halloween
