From the Desk of Kristen O’Connor

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.
