A HALLOWEEN PARTY

           



                 Here is the next part of last year's 
           Halloween posts. Enjoy!!


          AN INVITATION TO A PARTY....








The witches and the goblins,








The ghosts all dressed in white,







They all will be converging,
On the Cottage, come tonight.







They arrive upon their broomsticks,







They arrive by other means,

Some arrive so very quiet,
Some arrive amidst the screams.







A single fairy pumpkin witch,
Will try to set the tone,
But when it comes to game rules,
Everyone is on their own.







Once they are assembled,







That's when the fun will start,








You wouldn't want to join them,






If you were one bit faint of heart.











You are all invited,
Join the party..have some fun,






Nobody is excluded,
It's fair game for everyone.






It's strange how it all happens,
Just ask one whose mostly sweet,
Once you're a member of the party,
No one would pass you on the street.







If you are brave enough to enter,
Then you must be quite prepared,
For the ones who are the strongest,
Will survive those who are scared.






When we sit at the table,
And say, "Good potatoes, won't you pass",
They are eating eye of newt,
And tiny spiders under glass.






The pumpkins and the candles,
Are alight for all to see,






This is quite a different story,






The moon is shining brightly,
Look closer...see the bats?
They are coming to the party,
You'll want your necks kept under wraps.






Mrs.vonRichWitch was invited,
She thought the party would be fun,
She didn't know that when she left,
Her two hands would be one.







Now the dawn is breaking,
The air is still and cold,
All the guests have left the party,
And the story has been told.


Myself, the Resident Cottage Witch





TRICK OR TREAT....Judy, The Cottage Witch

  5. Wow, you went all out decorating for Halloween. I think your cottage will be a very popular place for little ones on Halloween. Everything is wonderful but I especially like the vignette on the buffet or chest. I hope I never meet up with that mad crazy dog!!! Happy Halloween, Judy!

  11. It sure seems as you're ready for Halloween. We don't celebrate that at all in our family, even though many swedes have began too. I don't really understand why we shall take this party to our country, after all, we've never even heard of the reason why you celebrate until about 10 years ago!! And I do think we have other things to celebrate instead. Lol, I really sounded boring there, didn't I? Well, maybe I did, but the meaning was right. I rather celebrate our All Saints Day at the beginning of November, I'll show you what I mean on my blog later on.
    I do hope you have a wonderful day. Have been a bad visitor lately. But I do love your post about Halloween. It seems very big "over there".
    Love Elzie
