Coffee On All-Hallows-Even


One last coffee

while basking in the golden glow

of the October sun
one more time

before the curtain falls
and the bonfires

carry our summer dreams
through that thin wall
into the Otherworld

  1. Lovely, Merisi. My son, Jeremy, and his girlfriend, Katie ( who has a BS in design engineering ) went off with friends to spend the night in San Francisco, in the cutest costumes. I hope the Westin St. Francis appreciated them.

  3. I love your eye for detail and for the play of light. Your American Halloween dinners sound so civilized and charming! - the perfect response to what has become a very commercialized event. I think I prefer the European tradition of All-Hallows Eve, though I've come to love our annual pumpkin carving ritual here in England with local children that I've just posted about.

  4. Best Halloween wishes to you, Merisi! The tradition of the thin veil has long fascinated me.

    I was hesitating going off to the pool as usual, but these make me want to dive right in!
