Black Cat Poetry and Homemade Costumes

Halloween and a black cat poem are at the forefront of my mind for this Poetry Friday!

I am putting more and more on my writing plate. I’ve been maintaining two blogs — here and also on Medium.com. It’s been fine and my wonderful WordPress followers — over 800 of them — have still been reading my posts. In addition, I’ve had a good month on Medium. com and feel confident I will make my goal of $10.00 this month in revenue.

I’ve been looking at some past Halloween photos. My sons are all grown now, with my youngest turning 21 in September. But, my sister sent me a photo of my oldest in a superman costume that I made with the help of my husband. I am sure my middle son (I have three sons) wore the costume five years later when he was about the same age at Halloween. I have been digging to find that photo. Anyway, the first Halloween as a parent had me motivated to make my one-year-old’s costume. And, I did! Thus, it started me down the road of making homemade costumes each year for all three of my boys and sometimes, my husband and me, also! It was fun and the photos provide treasured memories.
