Turn Around!

Turn around what do you see?
A rattling skeleton roaming free?
Or a werewolf howling at the moon?
something could get you soon!
Like a witch just seeking her dinner?
Or the deadly reamains of an undead sinner?
So watch your back all Halloween night.
And dont let the monsters give you a fright.

Halloween Times

Seven o'clock, lets go get treats!
Eight o'clock, skin shivers with the creeps
Nine o'clock, say trick or treat!
Ten o'clock, Halloween is neat!
Eleven o'clock, we go home to rover
Twelve o'clock,  Halloween is over.

Loss

Stop. wait. no. why?
why can't i stop, i cry
I cry out your name in my dark and dismal room
waiting for you to end this gloom
inside my heart and inside my head
all i can do is cry before bed
why did you leave and why were you taken from me
it wasn't your time but you had to leave
you fought and fought and i love you for that
but all i can think now is where are you at?
are you happy are you safe are you happier now?
I tried to cope but i didn't know how
i miss you so much you could never guess
sometimes i still cry and find myself a mess
but im ok and ill be alright
just give me some time cause ill need to fight
this anger this hurt and agony and hate
but ill pull through and learn to accept this fate
I love you and will see you again someday
I know you watch over me always yes today
we will meet up again though i don't know where
i know when i pass you will be there

For my grandmother Susan Lavinia Howe

Christmas Time

A smile a laugh a gay Chrismas song,
A tree some lights and happiness prolonged,
Through all of the presents and candy gone round,
the only thing I see, is love all around,
My family and friends are gleeful and lively,
I am joyful and smiley,
I am filled with happiness of all the things good this year,
Says my mom to me, This will be another good one, yes my dear,
So smiles go round and people leave,
but time for sleep and to have some relief.

Vacay

beeze and sand and salty mist.
I'll commence reading my vacation list.
to the beach I am bound to go.
I hope this day will go prolonged.

Fall Into Autum

falling into autumn to find what I want
when all the trees become leafless and gaunt
and the leaves transform into titian and crimson glory
all of the stunning foliage rains down upon my crown
and pumpkins ring smilingly and orange, around my porch.

Falling into autumn watching all the trees
bowing down low as if to read
over my shoulder my book on my lap
I watched the leaf fall as if to unwrap
all of the wonders and horror's of life
that hide behind doors showing strife
in a way that shows that all the things in the world
cause everything around us and even me, a little girl

Seeing a light at the end of the tunnel says, I like you
Seeing the light brighter than bright says, I kissed you
Opening your eyes is saying, I love you
And love always leads out of the darkness
