Nestled in the dark

Hidden by emerald leaves

A wood creature stands

Guarding his territory

From those who dare destroy it

He lays out the mask, pitchfork and a rose
His plans for the night? Only he knows
What he has hiding, up his sleeve
Such devilish deeds, he does conceive

She comes through the door, tired and weary
The scene on the bed, makes it quite eerie
Afraid to get closer, she gasps, backs away
He’s standing behind her, ready to play

Whispered seduction, his breath on her face
Desirous thoughts, as their bodies embrace
Warming to him, she gives in for the night
Unveiling the secrets, of the Devil’s delight

Spastic and Spoopy – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

There was something odd, on this moonlit night

I couldn’t figure it out, but it gave me a fright

The moon in the sky, a very curious shape

It looked like an egg, or maybe even a grape

When up in the tree, I saw an eerie red glow

Twas a gem, like a ruby, held on by a toe

The toe was attached to a spoopy old thing

Half bat and half bird, and it started to sing

I covered my ears, couldn’t handle the sound

Stepped back, lost my balance, fell to the ground

Looked up at this creature, as he laughed at me

How dare he do that, when he’s up in my tree?

Then it dawned on me, why the moon was strange

It wasn’t the moon, someone made an exchange

It was an egg, hatched an extraterrestrial being

I saw all I wanted, turned and ran, quickly fleeing
