Have a Little Hell to Salt Your Heaven

November 4, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Halloween, which is celebrated on Oct. 31.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A Halloween poem about the need to include some horror in one’s life:

Have a little Hell to salt your Heaven,

A dash of horror in your well-whipped cream.

Love and joy are not all you’ve been given.

Let some unsavory nightmare spice your dream!

Open up your long-sealed inner dungeon

Wherein you keep the monsters of your heart.

Enjoy one midnight just a rare smoked smidgeon,

Exquisite taste of what you are, in part,

Night shades for your culinary art!
