I understood your indignant determination to carry on through the cold, felt your frenzied anticipation in the candy-counting, and felt too the warmth and safety of home and family -- themes both hidden and highlighted by the actions of the more surface Halloween night. "That wasn't the point anyway." Wise words... you don't even know how right you are. Treasure these memories every year, tuck them somewhere safe!
It's great to see the direction you took this poem: These are definitely some of the more forgotten small moments and thrills of fall, the glimmers and emotions of the season, rather than the tangible treats and activities that naturally come to mind when the temperature first dips. I think that's what makes this piece special.
This captures the spirit of the season so well, and props to you for maintaining a rhyme! I was especially happy to see horror movies mentioned... it wouldn't be fall without them, for me!
I've always tried to listen to music when I write but I get too distracted by it lol. If I can manage to find a playlist that sets the 'tone' or 'vibe' of my story (like mysterious dark forest music) then it's always instrumental. I start writing the lyrics down if I listen to music with words XD
I feel that same way Anna, while this may be a proper skip through some beautiful flowers, it was ever so long ago. This is a photo of me almost 3 years ago, I posted it here to remember that joyful time when I was carefree without a care in the world. No matter how much time passes this moment will always have a special place in my heart. So, I felt the need to share it with others. I'm happy it spoke to you the way that it did, and even if it's just for a moment- try, try to take a moment to enjoy the little things, heck, maybe even a field of flowers. ;)
