Celebrating October

by Aarti Sriram
(India)

There is Halloween and Pitru Pooja

Dia de los Muertos and also eid e shuja

The sacrifice of deceased and our ancestor

Asia to Americas we honour them in October



Fasting rituals end, feast and music beat

Samhain specials and Trick or treat

Sukkot and Sukkahs traditional attire

Sparkles our eyes, heart and desire



Carved pumpkins and candle fragrance

Navratri to Diwali we dance and prance

Octoberfest spread at world happenings

Glows n Lights up the growing dark evenings



Hachiman Matsuri or be it Bonfire Night

Community spirit Cultures so bright

Albuquerque balloon or Naga Fireball Festival

Immerse in the essence of together and hope renewal
