Perched up high, upon a branch

In the forest, dark and scary

The owl waits for his next prey

Though his mistress, quite contrary

She sits inside, in black of night

By the window, where she eyes

Creatures scurrying about the grass

And much to her surprise

One comes closer, just enough

So the door, she opens wide

Watches as it makes its way

Unsuspecting, now inside

The cauldron boils and bubbles

As the witch begins to chortle

“Trick or treat, my tasty one

It’s time for my nightly mortal”

It has been a long time since we sat

Way back then, I believe we were phat

Our days were confounded

Skeletons abounded

Now naked, donned only in a hat

Walls that slant in faded light

Specter’s roam about the night

Shadows stand in open doors

Footsteps creak across the floors

Thinking this is just a dream

Things just aren’t what they seem

Figures lurk about your home

Now you see you’re not alone

Taunting you until you scream

Trick or treat, it’s Halloween!

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  BE SAFE!

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are Dig and Grave.  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Shadorma, my synonyms are Unearthed and Crypts.


Empty crypts

This All Hallows Eve

Ghouls afoot

And gloom reigns

When restlessness is unearthed

Exposing evil

With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2019, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this three years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day!  See you tomorrow  ❤
