A Trickster Cometh

Along street’s he’s casing, unseen in control
  Sickles and Scythes, double edged swords
 One hooks the young, other catches the old 
 And for winding up days, gets a tidy reward 
  Not diamonds or rubies, platinum nor gold
 But fruits, and candies, his Halloween hoard

Krish Radhakrishna Date: 10/23/2022 2:10:00 PM David, a lovely poem and very unique in style and content! Good luck in the contest!! I love these 6 liners! Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 10/23/2022 2:42:00 PM I’m also developing a penchant for the bite size poem, this one was probably going to turn into a halloween bloodbath, so I tried restraint and was happy with the sugar and spice outcome, cheers David

I Am Anaya Date: 10/22/2022 4:20:00 PM Trick or treater's [what we call children here], be on the look-out this year, my word, tricksters have multiplied, best to hide and seek! Great bite size David K brought me a smile ~Anaya Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 10/23/2022 1:33:00 AM The poor kids have a lot of competition as always Anaya, their costumes are fabulous, down to the last detail, still it’s tradition to try scare the hell out of each other in a friendly way, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Sotto Poet Date: 10/22/2022 2:26:00 PM This poetry, which was written with a lot of creativity, paints a magnificent image regarding Halloween festivities. David, you have written this quite well. This should be a winner.
