Thanks Sis. I am glad it is being picked up by some more on the second time around. Lord Bless.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Halloween poem. I have to agree the real meanings of all the celebrations you mention is outshined by all the money making schemes people come up with.

Comment from Sharon Haiste
A well written poem even if you are a bit of a 'ba humbug' type.
I agree that everything has become far too commercial, but I say let the kids have their fun as long as they're not hurting anyone.
Good job.

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This speaks the joy and entertainment, learning and pleasure aspect of Halloween, as there is no obscene in celebration, masking is part of the game like a festival; I liked.

OK old friend I know some will not agree with my particular bent but glad you enjoyed the good bits. Been a while since I wrote this.
Comment from Thomas Bowling
The reason black Friday is named that because this is the day that is supposed to mark to beginning of profitability for retailers. All year they have operated in the red. Now it's time to operate in the black That's why there is so much marketing taking place now.

I really enjoyed the poem. Here in my section of the world (earth) Halloween starts the Christmas shopping. Thanksgiving means putting up the lights and tree but Halloween means start shopping. We have a "black Friday" here in the US and now we have "Early Black Friday" starting right after Halloween. All about money and spending. Thanks for your poem.

Hi friend started reading your review I was all fixed on my recent poem on Responses for Reviews ha! Yeah I agree money money money. I have a Christmas Carol book ion FS if interested. I wrote some Carols the last only in 2002 as I got ticked off with Carols by Candle light shows where they sang all this stuff that had nothing to do with the real meaning of Christmas. Look for Rerall Truly Christmas Carols if interested and thanks for coming by.

Thanks mate got a feeling the rewards have finished sorry. Someone corrected my spelling but I guess it is another of those words spelled different on either side of the globe.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
I agree with the point your poem makes. Much of what is going on in today's world is a whole lot of marketing and nothingness. Great poem.

Comment from GracieAnn
Sankey, this is a powerful and truthful write that counters the world's lies about God. Engaging rhyme schemes and presents well. I have posted one just a few minutes ago after midnight that tells of October 31st being Reformation Day and shares your sentiments. Well done, my friend. :0 GracieAnn
