Halloween

  

Ghosts and Goolies

Spirits and spooks

Scared of stiffies

Ectoplasm pukes

Bumps in the 

night

And Vampire

Bites

A Werewolf's 

Howl

It loosens my

Bowel

And the worse one

yet

What makes a cold

sweat

When I think of

the twist

None of you

exist !

Trick or treating comes from the Middle-Age practice of the poor dressing up in costumes and going around door to door during Hallowmas begging for food or money in exchange for prayers. The food given was often a Soul Cake, which was a small round cake which represented a soul being freed from Purgatory when the cake was eaten.

Halloween is also know by other names:
All Hallows Eve
Samhain
All Hallowtide
The Feast of the Dead
The Day of the Dead

The owl is a popular Halloween animal. In Medieval Europe, owls were thought to be witches, and to hear an owl's call meant someone was about to die.

Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes.

Orange and black are Halloween colours because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.

Jack o lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.

A pumpkin is a berry in the cucurbitaceae family, which also includes melons, cucumbers, squash and gourds. All these plants are native to the Americas.

Wednesday Words

Wednesday’s child is full of woe.

If that was true then the child found joy, creativity and friendship through the Workers Education Association.

For on Wednesday a group of very different creative writers meet. A range of different ages, sexes and backgrounds come together with one burning purpose, to write.

This anthology is a homage to this group and a love letter to you the reader. The work you’ll find in here ranges from the heart-breaking to the humorous. There is no theme other than one, they were all born on a Wednesday.

Wednesday words

The Worker’s Educational Association was founded in 1903,

                  it is the UK's largest voluntary sector provider of adult

                  education and one of Britain's biggest charities.

                  movement. It delivers learning throughout England

                  and Scotland. The WEA's provision is usually local to

                  its students. In 2015–16 there were over 8,000 courses

                  delivered in over 1,800 community venues and 75% of

                  WEA students travelled less than 2 miles to their class.
