A gaggle of giggling ghosts gathered gaily
to groan in the graveyard one night.
They glided so gracefully, Griggsby the groundskeeper
grinned at the glorious sight.
He gaped as the glimmering, glistening glow
grew legs and goose-stepped through the grasslands below.
Then, just at the gate of my grandma and gramps,
the ghoulish gang sneezed and blew out like gas lamps.
This "G" post was a farewell nod to Halloween...and Dots candy.
(Our leftover Dots vanished like so many multi-colored ghosts.)

A Halloween lover like me! Great post and very clever! Dots are also a big fav of mine BTW..just sayin'
Love these little ghosts ! This year I didn't see anything of Halloween because I was in Egypt, and there nobody celebrated not even the tourists.
Sue,you are incredibly clever! Great poem and pix!!
That was some amazing alliterism, and a magnificent use of the letter G, a lot.
Great Ghostly Post :-)

all I seem to imagine is casper, the friendly ghost
nice G alphabe-thursday post & thanks for your visit
Love your alliteration. It really made for a perfect "G" post. I think it would be hard to top this but I'm going over to take a look.
Groovy!
I feel like I just want to jump right into that grandma and grandpa's house!
So cute! Truly a winner, captures that oh so fun feeling of Halloween :)

Well done! I like the music to accompany this too. Oh, and I am a bad mommy who bribed my girls into giving me their leftover Dots candy! I love that stuff!
Oh wow..what a great G poem, with fabulous photos!
Giggling gleefully.
loved you poem ... and those dots sure have a habit of vanishing ... as do the rest of the the halloween treats .... that must be the "trick" part!
I like the image of all them ghoulish ghosts sneezing. Ah-chooo!
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who wasn't ready to ditch Hallowe'en right away!
A great and ghoulish goodbye to ghastly Halloween!
Sue, thanks for an amazing stop on Alphabe-Thursday's gourney through G.
This was fabulous.
And I want to live in that house. It is really charming.
A++++++++++++++++
that grinning guy with the bulging eyeballs freaked me out!
