Halloween (A haiku)
The world is orange.
Jack-o-lanterns on dead leaves,
Halloween is soon.
Children in costume,
Eager for the Monday night
Doors lined with candy.
But my holiday
Begins many eves before.
Assignments can wait.
DIY costume,
“Hocus Pocus” marathon,
Pumpkin spice pastries.
Tearing of wrappers,
Drown myself in chocolate
And chilled hard cider.
Weight gain is destined.
Prepare for the winter woes,
Hibernation too.
Brace for the term’s end.
Halloween is not for kids,
But for me and you.
