Halloween Party at Night

  • Lighted Pumpkins on the doorway
    Invites witches to come and play
    Wandering on brooms stick on the sky
    Zoom Zoom and Zoom ,they fly

    I was seated in a dim lighted room
    With hunched back and deadly groomed
    I slowly sucked in my thick red tomato soup
    From a big bowl of scary dots and loops

    Knock Knock Knock, I heard some noise
    Crooked broken voices of girls and boys
    Receiving the signal, I quickly gathered
    My baskets with monster chocolate and fled

    Hello Hello and Hello..we are in
    Come let us  party for Halloween
    From door to door, we go and call
    Tagging for party friends ,short and tall

    We scare and scare all through the night
    Those who were caught on our sight
    They stood and looked at us kids
    Snaring at us with their wry smile undid

    Witches or skeleton, we need no such dress
    And telling there's yet no monster better than us

    The Story of Rapunzel's Hair

  • Long Long ago, I grew long to flow
    Wavy and sassy , chit chat as I go
    I brush the soft walls on the towers
    That measures my height as I reach lower
    I am bathed in Lukewarm water
    With natural herbs and natural colors
    I am pampered with nourishing coconut oils
    Carefully and neatly tied up to coil
    My long golden mane with colorful ribbons
    Adorned with flowers ,yellow and crimson
    I am loved and taken care of so well
    By a beautiful maiden named Rapunzel
    I played messenger helping her find
    Her true love role playing from behind
    Up and down , In and out I go
    Providing a only pathway to below
    Until the wicked witch struck me upon
    Cutting my beauty in two , one half down
    Held wickedly on the hands of the witch
    My other half on Rapunzel who's been ditched
    I wander with her in the lonely woods
    Unknown of the spell cast upon her only good
    Finally, a rescue was bestowed through a Dove
    To bring back my true long self and her True Love


    Love and get loved - The story of Rapunzel's hair rescued through the Dove
    One thing I loved about Rapunzel's hair is that she pampered her hair with love and affection which drove her to get healthier and long hair.I am not a Rapunzel but I can do what she does to her Hair [ pampering my hair to save what is left now :( ]

    Life is fun when viewed from a different perspective ."Put yourself in other's shoe so you may know their pain" is a well known proverb. Now ,let me put it in a different way."Put yourself on the other side of the world say a dream world so that you may  know how beautiful your life is like a poetic world " . Chill !! :)
