Allhallowtide II: Spook Shop Pumpkin Patch

 

 

 

Allhallowtide 2021

Chapter Two

 

 

 

 

A parade of  ghosts followed me  

 

Farther along Piedmont Avenue
at the intersection of Pleasant Valley
We come to a time-honored cemetery florist 
who goes all out on Halloween

 

 

 

 Place of pilgrimage for haunted kids

 

 

And also an all-around all-purpose spook shop

 

 

 

 

Maybe not for the faint of heart

Dogs may require a blanket
if they enter a state of shock

 

 

 

Scary or humorous?

 to one's taste

 

 

Mask collection

 

 

 

 

Execrable taste makes boys berserk

 

 

 

Something for everyone really

whatever your niche

 

 

Menacing balloons that move

as one proceeds outside

 

 

 

 

 

 Timeless ambiance pervades the proverbial Patch 

 

 

 

 

 Pumpkin Idol

 

 

 

A place to be

 

 

 

Ectoplasmic gourd

 

 

 

 

 

 

Master of Ceremonies

 

 

 

 

 Morbid tableaux occupy the ghoulish grove

 

 

 

 

 

Killer Clowns are regarded as passe

Rob Zombie calls them "pathetic"

 

 

 

An impulse to flee this theater of

Headless Horsemen

 and fleshless steeds

Bid adieu to friends old

 

 

 

 and friends new

(so to speak)

 

  

 

Suppose I've had my fill

Tired but a good kind of tired

Not yet overwhelmed

 

 

 

 

 

Time to skeedaddle

 

 

 

 

 

Back out on Halloween Avenue

to continue on to a real boneyard

 

 

 

 My chauffeur 

ever-attentive to my plans

 

 

 

My ghostly Dodge awaits 

 

 

Some kids never play outside

 

Something wicked this way comes
Stay wired for the next two installments of
Allhallowtide 2021
