I’m feeling quite joyous, Yes! It’s that time of year
So delighted, when the holiday season brings cheer
Decorations that shine on each tree, lighted brightly
Ah, the sky glistens too, with each star, lighted nightly

I wake to frosted windows, shimmering in the sun
I used to love the arctic air, as a child, I’d play & run
Winter’s breath is upon me, how I shiver in the cold
Seems I can no longer handle it, I must be getting old

Come take a ride on my broomstick
Meet my precious cat, Mr. Quiver
We’ll turn your head, round and round
Upside down, make your whole body shiver
Throw in some jack-o-lanterns
Light the candles, watch them flame
The goblins in the graveyard
They’re writing numbers, taking names
I will tell my tale this Halloween
About the time I caught your eye
And how you fell for my greatest plan
I’m so sorry that you had to die
Your time has come to a dreadful end
On the gravestone, etched in black
Your name and, yes, the date you left
Safe to say, there’s no turning back
October Writing Prompt – Shiver and quiver – Day 9/31

This is my entry for KaylaAnn’s End of Summer Poetry Contest. I hope you enjoy 🙂 Info for the contest can be found HERE
The fire burned, ever so slowly
We watched, as flames grew high
Each stick thrown into the pile
Seemed to let out a hideous cry
As the fiery mass engulfed it
Soon turned it to soot and ash
Then a chill in the air sent a shiver
A reminder, that summer had passed
Sadly, she was making her exit
All we had were memories to pack
Autumn made herself be known
Now, all we could do was look back
To the warmth of the sunlit days
And oh, how the nights did sizzle
Cooler breezes now come this way
As we watched the firelight fizzle
