I Have Never Written
A Halloween Poem
I have never written
a Halloween poem,
"witch" is scary!
I came "ghost" to writing
a Halloween poem,
but I was too spooked
in order to write it!
So, I have been
hiding from writing
a Halloween poem
—up till now!
You see, until
recently, writing
a Halloween poem
was too "monstrous" of
a task for me to undertake!
Although, not writing
a Halloween poem
has been "haunting me"
for quite some time now!
However, I tried
to play it "ghoul" for a
while, until I finally got
around to writing
a Halloween poem!
But, that's just how it is
in this "neck of the woods,"
with regard to writing
a Halloween poem
—and that sucks!
Still, those are just some
of the "skeletons in my
closet" about writing
a Halloween poem!
I hope all of this talk
about me being way
too afraid to write
a Halloween poem
hasn't frightened
you too much!

My Writing About How I Have Never Written A Halloween Poem—Up Till Now: I have never written a Halloween poem, "witch" is scary! I came "ghost" to writing a Halloween poem, but I was too spooked in order to write it! So, I have been hiding from writing a Halloween poem—up till now!

My Writing Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I have never written a Halloween poem... So, I have been hiding from writing a Halloween poem—up till now!"
And this poem was only published on this "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog, frightfully enough.
Just so you know, I revised this poem, as I often do with my writing! And I changed how this poem was written when I was posting a copy of it as a Halloween 'update' on my blog post titled, "I Am No Longer Being An Activist In The Same Way That I Was," which can be found on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog. So, I wanted to show you how this poem used to be written, before I revised it as above.
And it used to be written like this:

Thus, I revised this poem to be written as it is above—disturbingly enough.

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon. Chilling, isn't it?
