Magpie # 38

In tombstone city
All are "created" equal.
Side to side; rich, poor.

  10. Equal at both ends. It's just the bit in the middle, where things are so different.

  14. Halloween

    The night is dark
    and the goblins are out,
    and the witches and black cats
    are prowling about.

    And costumed creatures
    the strangest I've seen,
    are knocking on doors
    'cause tonight's Halloween!

    Happy Halloween dear Rel:-) xox
