trick or treat

Happy Halloween!

Soft light plays on
my shameless, lipstick rouged
lips - it's a party.

I hear OverDoz
advocating a “last kiss”
somewhere in the night.

Some faces always
find a favorable light
- like the movie stars.

He’s gorgeous, with a
new iPhone-like appeal
- the consensus choice.

I’m looking through glass
at a candy I can’t hope
for this Halloween.

For a high school student you have a knack already with poetry and words. This is a really good poem with its feel for someone being bombarded with media messages about what they should be like and what is of value as they look on doubting they have such features to offer.

I do like Halloween. Me and the grandchildren. We do have some fun. Good to hide old face and be someone else. The wishes of Halloween are usually a possibility. Thank you dear Anais for sharing the entertaining poetry.
