I invented Instant Poems...this means I started typing before I thought about the poem. So it might suck because I did not think on it long, nor is it edited or re-written blah blah...here it is
October 31st and what am I to do,
I do not have a costume on to be like you.
I am lying here, pondering my life,
Thinking of times of good, and times of strife.
As I look back I think of many things,
And all of the emotions that each memorance brings.
I will not go out and knock on neightbor's door.
As has been customary from the time of yore.
I also have no candy that I can give away,
To the costumed children, as dusk takes over the day.
I tried to stand and get my keys,
But it seems that darkness is all that either of my eyes sees.
They are not closed, of this I am sure,
but perhaps I need to try and remember a little more.
Autumn is here the leaves are surely changing,
Throughout colors and hues that are very wide-ranging.
As the seasons pass I try to recollect,
Just what I have become as I feel no respect.
But then the thoughts return to my empty head,
I can not trick or treat, because I am dead!
