The captain was nowhere to be found

It seemed his boat had run aground

Through starlit night and moonlight glow

He vanished in the undertow

Or had he disappeared from sight?

Did he, from his ship, alight?

Has he found his newest haven?

Or been swallowed by his first mate, Raven?

The bird will never tell, my friend

Of how the captain met his end

Once vibrant and spry

We grow older and wither

Like the autumn leaves

Climb aboard, it’s very late

The bus arrives for you

Ghouls are here, to guide your way

And a ghostly quartet, too

Enjoy the ride, it’s cozy inside

Nothing to fear, nor frighten

Zombies make your trip quite nice

While goblins surely delight in

Watching you squirm about your seat

They say the trip is almost done

But the bus keeps going, no end in sight

Boo! This is what they call fun!

9th in the “Serene Sunday” series on my blog.

My favorite place to be.  Sunnybank Park, Wayne, NJ

I will be taking weekends off from sharing poetry until further notice, so I decided to share some of my favorite photos.  I hope you enjoy them.  Of course, I’ll still be doing my #DailyHaikuChallenge/#OctoberWriting.  🙂

Artistic autumn

Paints a landscape of colors

Slowly gilding leaves
