Happy Halloween, Friends!
I so love the whimsical and fantastical and spooky spirit of Halloween, as well as the idea of connecting with spirits of our dearly departed. I also love writing Halloween-themed poems each year. This is my 2022 Halloween poem, inspired by my late father, who used to say that he would be reincarnated as a tiger. I was happy to share it at last Friday’s Neurolyrical Cafe, and I am happy to share it with you all today!
Your Spooky Friend,
Boo!
by Danny Whitty
Are ghosts real
Or are we victims of
Overactive minds
And which is scarier?
*
I have never been haunted
By a ghost or ghoul or similar
But my dad’s spirit used to pop by
And it wasn’t as much spiritual
As one would think
But maybe he just lacked flair.
*
Would you haunt me
One day when you are
Not too busy in the various
Activities of the afterlife
If you haven’t been reincarnated
As that fierce tiger yet?

Hi Danny, I so love your poem that speaks to your Dad. I see mine in my dreams occasionally (I wish more often). Welcome to November.
