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!
Writing Prompt: Ghosts and Goblins – Day 15/31

Artistic autumn
Paints a landscape of colors
Slowly gilding leaves

There isn’t much you can do
With a can of sardines, or two
It all seems too fishy
These stinkers are squishy
I’d much rather have some beef stew
Yet, somehow they found their way up
Onto the counter, in my measuring cup
I guess I’ll just make them
Into soup, with some bacon
Hold your nose ‘fore you swallow, Pee U

She hides behind the fence posts
Where no one sees her there
Cloaked by wooden slats and nails
She stays hidden from the glare
Of hatred thrown about her
Lives taken, for mere display
She no longer wants to live
In a land that prays this way
Someday she’ll find the courage
To walk away from all this hate
But for now, she stays behind the fence
For now, she has to wait
