Aloha poets,
Dark earth greens, browns, and blues inspire the tropical halloweenseason, today's poetry. Enjoy!
America Halloween
Children journey in Founding Father's dress
Revolutionary re-creation gets out your best
New Battle of Saratoga this time in no book
18th Century rebels now sport a new look
Spends into oblivion, must be child's play
So colonial costumes we must all don today
Colonials would have thought us an odd duck
To wear three cornered hats just for good luck
Advertising what seemed once a promise to act
Freedom of choice by all appearances backed
Massachusetts parachute of history on track
Is a fife and a drum all we lack?
Children grow, learn of our past
Parental stories of old seem to last
Up and running burgundy breeches
Halloween scary offers frog or leeches
Campaign now as colonial folk once did
Revolutionary era buckle wavy white wig
Long jacket knickers cool, just pretending
Freedom comedy, wooden buttons mending
Democrats invention, kind of a group thing
Frilly neck, blousy shirt and never a king
Change moves slow in shapes and sizes
Tricorn hat, knee-high stocking idealizes
Future of culture may be a celebrity costume
Did frontier freed of of choice fly past in a zoom?
Is all this debt a mock battle of revolutionary days?
Minutemen with muskets are we, political foggy haze
Black shoes on, we march across hallowed grounds
In trick or treat wonder, listening for new sounds
Hear freedom's bell, colonial commerce to found
Halloween, common sense, bring america around
