Halloween is the answer

Laurie Edberg 1966 (Sechelt)

Free verse
If Halloween is the answer, what is the question?

This is profound,
This is challenging.

Ghost and goblins,
Princesses and paupers abound,
Candy and treats,
Apples in Carmel,
Cookies with crocked grins.

Pumpkins adorned with carved faces,
Smokey porches,
Creepy music,
Hexes cast.

Halloween is the answer to this question.
