The day after Halloween found VioletDove in a sour mood
She was gathering her decorations as fast as she could

Swiftly and lovingly she placed each in the magic sack
That was placed outside for Pumpkin Man to pack

She had to work steadily and fast in this job each year
For Pumpkin Man had to be off before the sun could fully appear

In went the spiders, the crows and each creepy bat
Next the skeleton, the boos and the witches hat

As she placed the final furry spider
Pumkin Man appeared beside her

She looked away and wanted to cry
For the light had gone from his eye

As he bent to pick up the Magic Sack
Something happened taking them aback

A woman appeared, walking swiftly, a smile on her face
Calling to the man behind her, "Hurry up Kevin! Keep up the pace"

The woman took the sack from Pumkin Man's hand
She smiled, patted his cheek and softly began

"Leave a few, don't take them all away
For Halloween can be celebrated each day"

As the woman bent down to reach into the sack
The man smiled indulgently from behind her back

VioletDove thought to herself Could it really be?
Is this GeauxHomeLittleD the Queen of Halloween?

Before she could get the courage to ask
The woman before her was done with her task

The woman smiled and disappeared without a trace
A skeleton, a bat and a crow were left in her place

As Pumkin Man reached down for the magic sack
VioletDove noticed his eyes were no longer black

As he turned her way his face was as bright
as the morning sun that was rising in sight

As he went on his way, shifting the sack up higher
VioletDove smiled, her eyes twinkling with Halloween fire

Thank you Fin.

I was inspired by what GeauxHomeLittleD said last night and it just sort of popped into my head.

on the day after halloween i went to dollar general to get the discounted candy they always sell. apparently they didn't want to sell it to bad. still had just as much as they did halloween and the the day before, and all the days before that. which was about full selves, ranging from 2 to 4 dollars more per size which was smaller than last years.
their idea of discount was a dollar off.

the bastards.

I approve this message!  tinyinbiglove

You are now a Queen of Halloween in your own right. Build your kingdom of moonlight, stardust. raven's feathers, cobwebs, skulls and bones and blessed be!

How dare they!!! Discounted candy is just as much a tradition as Halloween itself!!

I didn’t go looking for sales today. My husband’s car is acting up so he took mine and I didn’t want to hook the battery cable up on the old pickup and try to get it started so I just stayed home.
