Description
Now I had always heard
but I’d never seen
A zombie friend return
for Halloween
It was the Strangest sight
I had ever seen
Dressed for success
with a greenish sheen
I asked her myself
whatever it could mean
She didn’t reply
so I just let her in
After all she was one
of my dearest friends
And I could hardly wait
to catch up again
funny how things
turn out in the end
What the future holds
no one can foretell
what amazing luck!
Things turned out so well
My friend has come back!
there’s no parallel
It really worked when I cast
that voodoo spell
I’m sure I can ignore
all these warning bells
If I try real hard
I don’t even mind the smell
It’s a magic
Only Halloween could compel
But if it’s a Trick or a treat
I cannot tell
I’m just glad we didn’t
have to say farewell

Brilliant. This reminds me of all those old ghost stories where deceased friends come back to visit--although usually to attend dances, oddly enough--except that this version has a zombie. Wonderfully creepy.

Thanks so much! I actually really did worry she was dead. She is the one who called herself a zombie.... but her absence certainly did haunt me for months. In my previous poem about her absence I think I even said her page was a haunted place.

I still feel like it is all too good to be true. I keep expecting to wake up and it all be a dream.

Sometimes fact can be better than fantasy, in that way. ;3

Ooh! I can’t wait!
Did you read mine? It’s not specifically a Halloween poem, but when read this time of year I think it qualifies. ( ◠‿◠ )

I got really far behind. I haven't even put out my journal for the last few days. I'm sure it is waiting for me in my inbox wit dozens of other works by friends. sigh.

Haha, is a beautiful dedication for a very lovely friend indeed! Light-hearted and humourous and definitely such a special way to welcome Dani with warmth and love.

I am blown away both of you are back! My froggy heart feels like it is about to burst from happiness. I am glad you liked it. The first few lines of this came to me in a dream this morning. I instantly woke up and started writing it down before the inspiration left. I think it came out well. When it came down to it I was a couple lines short. I ended up tossing another line. The I fought with the last missing one for a long time. In the end it took most of the morning to finally tweak and rearrange everything till I had it looking right.
I am so glad you liked it. I guess I probably owe you one too.... (and my wife now lol)

Aww frog's have such small hearts... please don't let yours burst out! 
You owe me nothing my dear ol'phibie! I'm glad to see you happy and all joyous with your friend's return.

I just didn't want you to think i wasn't thrilled about you being back. I most certainly was. The big difference was that I knew you were okay. I actually thought something terrible had happened to Dani. That just suddenly reminded of a certain parental conversation I have had that goes like this, "No honey, of course we don't love your sister more than you. We love both of you the same." I have actually had that conversation irl before. LOL

Hahaha, lol...that 'parental' conversation was kinda very cute and funny..but of course Ed, I do know that to you I am a much loved friend just as you are for me and I would never have thought otherwise. Thank you for caring for my feelings, though I really appreciate your sense of sensitivity towards me and the others.

Of course it's for you! As for the warm welcome, of course I was thrilled to see you back! It still seems almost miraculous to me. I am still stunned and glowing. I will probably be giddy for a while. Unlike you, I tend to eb far too emotional. LOL I didn't even realize how much you meant to me till you were gone. You really were one of the foundations stones that I built my DA life on. I really admired and looked up to you, and you were so incredibly supportive of everything I did on here.
I am thrilled you liked the poem! Believe it or not the first few lines of this came to me in a dream this morning. I immediately woke up and started working on it. In my dream it was being rapped by a young Will Smith about the age he was in his "Fresh Prince" days. LOL You may also be interested to know that the font is "Death Note Font" so it may hold strange supernatural powers.
Besides, it was you yourself that said you were a zombie. You should have know that was going to be hard to get off my BRAIN. lol

Well, you reciprocate rather well 
As for the poem, it makes a bit jealous how seemingly easily words come to you. It looks so effortless, the way you write and you're just as skilled with dramatic as with comedic pieces. Also that pun!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehehe I'm glad you liked the pun. If I had thought of it when I was writing the poem it would have made it in for sure! You flatter me so much.
Grant has been getting on me about being bad about accepting compliments. He is right. I am TERRIBLE at it. My first reaction to praise is to instantly start trying to explain all the ways I don't deserve it. I just deleted two paragraphs like that because i am trying to be more conscious of not offending people by naysaying their compliments all the time.
Instead i will just say, please don't be jealous. I am so happy you think so highly of me. I have always had you up on a pretty high pedestal as well. You are much more amazing as far as I am concerned, Dani.

Grant has a point! I mean, who am I to judge, I am terrible at accepting compliments, too. Much better at taking critique. But you should at least take in mind the positive sides of your work. If you're anything like me you tend to go on a negative spiral if you're left to your own devices.

You are so right! The longer somethign of mine sits up the more I want to revise and improve it. I really am my own worst critic.
