Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is Halloween, which was celebrated on October 31.
Today’s poem is a Halloween poem addressed to the spirits
who wander the night.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Happiness, all snug, lies fast asleep
As spirits roam the neighborhoods at night,
Let loose upon the Earth till it be light,
Laughing revelers, whom death doth keep.
O spirits lost, who wail but cannot weep,
Wanton worshippers of rage and spite,
Each the unknown author of its plight,
Equal in the pain you sow and reap,
Now come to us from out your vasty deep!
