This is Halloween....

With designs on a party,

We packed up and headed west.

To the island of Hemingway to the fabled

2017 Fantasy Fest.

Much destruction along the way, Hurricane Irma did not play.

Our hotel was overbooked-please go down the street, the lady said,

You're upgraded to a suite!  No way!  (Sa-weet!)

Two Sea Sirens, creatures divine.

With Poseidon and Neptune,finer than wine,

with sights on Duval to

do the Halloween crawl.

Steampunk and hippie funk, a pope in a wheelchair;

the sights and the smell,

a nun with no pants,

we're all going to hell.

Angels and Devils and very naughty nurses.  (very!)

Snake charmers and body paint, strippers,

And drag queens with purses.

Elvi, (there were two!) eating ice cream,

Dayglo neon and giant fro hair,

It was all we could do not to just

stand and stare!

The parade was epic, our seats were V.I.P, (score!)

The floats were amazing, and we caught tons of beads.

Now I ask you, who could ask

for anything more?

And then it was done...

Four  sea creatures tired, happy and fat,

Crossed one off the bucket list;

2017 Fantasy Fest,

Been there-done that!

Happy Halloween, my Pretties! xo
