I think it can. There's a lurking Geek who got a different reading then I did. Not that I'd ever hint that he should post anything anywhere... But anyway, he gets more of a nostalgia feeling. I never studied this particular one either. I didnt' mean to act all brainy and edjamacated at everyone. Most poems are what we, as the reader, makes of them. I mean, I think "Hotel California" is a love song.

The reason I think it's about madness is the last two lines:

"A hideous throng rush out forever
And laugh- but smile no more."

I have this vision of ghosts, screaming with laughter, but there's no humour, just wide eyed hysteria.

PS please take my posts today with a grain of salt. It could be the Nyquil talking!

Snowy, I would never presume that you were trying to one-up anyone! Sorry if I gave that impression. I love such discussion, one of the main reasons I enjoy Lit so much so please, comment away. And have always wanted to know what he meant with the word "Porphyrogene." Love that last vision of yours. It very much describes what I feel when I read the poem. And I will NEVER take your posts with a grain of salt

Now I am afraid for you, very afraid, LOL. Isn't this a poem about an inescapable descent into utter madness (rather than a light halloween treat)? One question - to what/who do you think Poe was referring with the term Porphyrogene? Thank you for getting me ready for sleep.

Well thank you Miss Fury I do try and I usually enjoy the re-pore with others here. Wish we could drag some more lurkers out to participate. The day when I realise people are comfortable to be more involved by posting will be a happy one indeed. A singular pursuit not shared has limited value in my books.

You know I have never officially celebrated Halloween its simply not done here. Have adopted a few rituals having so many friends that in fact do and also because its unique. I think I did a Shrek 2 themed dinner party type thing for my son last year just to make one day in life seem a little more special than the rest if you know what I mean. Trust me anything that's an invitation to a childlike mindset and I am in like Flynn.

I definitely was not a member of Lit this time last year I have no idea whats common practise on the Boards. Just and Aussie sheila winging it ..........smiles.

Art Edvard Munch ~ Lyrics Velvet Underground

I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too

You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I'm doing the same
Saw you're hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me

I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too

People going to the stratosphere
Soldiers fighting with the cong?

But with you by my side I can do anything
When we swing
We hang past right or wrong

I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me too
I'll do anything for you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you​

Well I think it's great. I don't have much to contribute but my appreciation. I'm suffering creativity block ATM.

When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to do Halloween because of our religion. It pissed me off. A couple of years I was allowed to go out on Halloween and ask for donations for our church mission. People look at you damned funny for shit like that let me tell you what!

I was never given a costume but if I could manage to scrounge one up (that no one ever understood, so sad,) and get to my grandparents or a friends house that wasn't in the church on Halloween I could sneak out and go trick or treating.

Now I always get my kids costumes. Like most 'rents I like giving them what I didn't have.

Ringo Starr Devil Woman Lyrics

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/rebecca222_2006/devil-woman1.jpg


EV'RYTIME I SEE YOU WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET,
I SAY, YOU'RE THE KIND OF WOMAN I JUST GOTTA MEET.
YOU LOOK SO GOOD AND YOU LOOK SO FINE
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE.

YOUR EYES ARE GREEN AND YOUR LEGS ARE LONG,
AND IF I'M GONNA GET YOU, WELL, I GOTTA BE STRONG.
BUT YOU'RE LIKE THE DEVIL WITH HORNS IN YOUR HEAD,
THE ONLY WAY I'LL GET YOU IS TO GET YOU IN BED.

DEVIL WOMAN, YOU'RE LIKE A STRANGER TO ME.
DEVIL WOMAN, THIS AIN'T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

EV'RYTIME I SEE YOU IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD,
I SAY, YOU'RE THE KIND OF WOMAN THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD.
I WANNA BEAT YOU UP THEN I WANNA BE KIND,
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE.

SEXY SADIE, YOU LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL TO ME.
DEVIL WOMAN, THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

YEAH!

DEVIL WOMAN, YOU'RE LIKE A STRANGER TO ME.
DEVIL WOMAN, THIS AIN'T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

EARLY IN THE MORNIN' WHEN THE SUN IS HOT,
ALL I DO IS THINK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU GOT.
BUT YOU'RE LIKE THE DEVIL WITH HORNS IN YOUR HEAD,
THE ONLY WAY I'LL GET YOU IS TO GET YOU IN BED.

DEVIL WOMAN, YOU'RE LIKE AN ANGEL TO ME.
DEVIL WOMAN, THIS AIN'T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

YEAH.

EV'RYTIME I SEE YOU WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET,
I SAY, YOU'RE THE KIND OF WOMAN I JUST GOTTA MEET.
BUT YOU'RE LIKE THE DEVIL WITH HORNS IN YOUR HEAD,
THE ONLY WAY I'LL GET YOU IS TO GET YOU IN BED.

BUT YOU'RE LIKE THE DEVIL WITH HORNS IN YOUR HEAD,
THE ONLY WAY I'LL GET YOU IS TO GET YOU IN BED.

YOU LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL WITH HORNS IN YOUR HEAD,
THE ONLY WAY I'LL GET YOU IS TO GET YOU IN BED.

I SAID, YOU LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL.​

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on

Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum
Look at Molly now, here she comes
Wearin' her wig hat and shades to match
She's got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat
Wearin' her pearls and her diamond rings
She's got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on

Wearin' her perfume, Chanel No. 5
Got to be the finest girl alive
She walks real cool, catches everybody's eye
They got to be nervous, they can't say Hi
Not too skinny, she's not too fat
She's a real humdinger and I like 'em like that

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on

Good golly, Miss Molly
You sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly
You sure like to ball
It's late in the evenin'
Don't you hear your mama call

From the early, early mornin' 'til the early, early nights
See Miss Molly rockin' at the House of Blue Lights
Good golly, Miss Molly
You sure like to ball
While you're rocking and you're rolling
Can't you hear your mama call

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
