Do you have a birthday that dovetails with a major holiday? If you do, you know how it feels to be torn about which to celebrate and a little bit overlooked as people focus on the holiday and not your birthday (says the girl with the Christmas-y birthday!). That's one more reason to enjoy this poem by Joan Bransfield Graham from The Poetry Friday Anthology for Celebrations.
I also stumbled upon these amazing Halloween birthday celebration ideas at Pinterest here. Check them out!
Meanwhile, head on over to Friendly Fairy Tales for more Poetry Friday fun!

I adore the Halloween holiday. It has always been a big celebration in my neighborhood and in the schools I was in. It is the day to celebrate the love of spooky tales. Thank you for sharing titles and goodies to make Halloween a treat, not a trick. Sylvia, I it so good to see two other review of Pet Crazy. There are lots of kudos for your latest book created with Janet.
Halloween is a major holiday at our house! Thanks for the list of Halloween poetry--perfect for a 10/31 read-a-thon! (Or 11/1 during the sugar crash...)
Like always, thanks for the list! I have the "grumbles" books, wonderful for October reading!
Thanks, friends, for sharing my poetry and Halloween love! Here's to plenty of treating (and no tricks) for all of you for Halloween!
Sylvia, Pet Crazy and your other books are wonderful, as are your lists. You are a wonderful, generous person.
Thanks for sharing such a fun collection of books and poems for Halloween. It's a pretty quiet day around our house. Out in the country we don't get many trick-or-treaters, but we spend time this weekend admiring the pumpkin carvings that a local family puts on--over 200 carved pumpkins!
