Yes, November has arrived, but I have a belated Halloween share,
and last week was a whirlwind! 👻🎉😁
These are chocolate chip cookies I baked for the spooky occasion.
So, let your spirits return to All Hallow’s Eve…
if your nerves get jittery when the sun sinks behind hills
and the wind begins to whistle
and owls screech from high in looming trees
and shadows follow you down the street...
cookies make the ghouls
vanish when the sky turns black
chocolate magic
But be on your guard since…
eyes watch intently
when you indulge in first bite
taste with true caution
crossed or not, they spy
as you move around the house
beware of cuteness
On the other hand…
chocolate chips whisk
worries away in the wind
take one, two, or three!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this post brought a smile,
and don’t forget to grab a cookie on your way out!
Have a peaceful Sunday and Happy November! 🍂🍁

Haha. I’m smiling. Wonder if I would be brave enough to bite into one of these cookies while they are watching me so intensely.
It will take a lot of courage! I’m glad I got you smiling, Anneli! 😁
What fun! I hope they are not meant for eating along with those eyes!
The eyes are the best! LOL 😁👀👻

I took a bunch! How could I resist, cookies and poetry are best!
Thank you for this fun post and post Halloween treat, Lauren!
Did you get a lot of Trick and Treaters? Was there a costume that stood out? A popular one.
None over here, so I have to live vicariously.
❦🤍🕊🌹❦
Yay, I’m glad, Resa! I’m so happy you enjoyed this post. And our block was pretty quiet, but we had a few. No costume that stood out. I don’t think we have many young kids around here anymore. They’re either babies or older. 😁🎃🍪❤️
xo🎃🍪xo
I need those cookies to keep the spirits at a safe distance. 🙂
Help yourself, Ian! 😁😁
Cute little cookies Lauren and a wonderful haiku to match them.
Thanks so much, Kamal! I’m glad you enjoyed the treats and poems! xo
You are always welcome dear Lauren. Yes enjoyed the treats.
Cookies would be a good incentive to get more people to read.
I agree, Binky, and they have chocolate!
Thanks for sharing the cookies!
I’m glad you enjoyed them!
It definitely brought a huge smile! Those cookies look spooky and delicious.
That’s good, Bella! They were really good, and those eyes made all the difference! 😁👀
That looked delicious, eyes and all! LOL
😀😀😀
A big smile!
That’s great, Dawn! Thanks!
Omg those cookies are so cute 🍪👀
Haha, thanks, Pooja! I’m glad I found those eyes! 👀😁
You’re welcome and yes they look so adorable on the cookies!
Cute poem and fun cookies, Lauren.
Thanks, Mary! I’m glad you enjoyed both! 🥰
Cute poetry Lauren. Hope you enjoyed a nice Halloween! Thinking of you 🥰
Thanks, Marie! This was a fun post and those cookies were good! The eyes made all the difference. Thinking of you too, my friend! ❤️😁
As a kid, I used to bake green peanut butter cookies (I have no idea why, but it seemed like a neat-o idea at the time). Your haiku are adorable and the cookies look appealing. 😊
I think your cookies are a neat-o idea, Mike! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed the haiku and the cookies were really good. I wish I could’ve shared! 🍪🤗👻

Free made chocolate chip cookies right out of the over. Yummy, Lauren. With or without eyes.
They were good, Curt, and I would’ve shared if I could’ve! 🙂 👀👀
Had I been in the neighborhood I would have been knocking at your door, Lauren. Trick or treat with the whole emphasis being on treat.
😄😄😄
Loved your haiku’s! Chocolate chip cookies are my favourite!
Thanks, Carol Anne! They are the best! 🙂 xo
