CayCay Godwin Poet Quatrain

Halloween Moon

Perched oval moon glared in baleful triumph;

it’s huge, round face turned my bones to goo!

Mr. Orb’s rapt, relentless gaze raised goosebumps;

scared-goo-feet flew, ‘cause, I swear, it yelled boo!

Mark Woods October 19, 2015 at 10:33 PM There something about being in the open on a dark night by yourself that can be somewhat scary. The hairs on the back of your neck standing and the slightest sound increases your fear. Entertaining poem CayCay Godwin October 19, 2015 at 11:16 PM Thank you, Mark. You described 'that' dark night fear very well. It definitely involves adrenaline and then, if you are lucky, RELIEF ... CayCay

Dan Cwiak October 19, 2015 at 8:16 PM Very delightful take on the theme, CayCay. We have all had that "boo" moment at sometime in our past Halloweens. Great job in reminding us. CayCay Godwin October 19, 2015 at 8:21 PM I must go see if you wrote for the contest. I must admit, I am a bit burnt out on Halloween poems and all I want is the chocolate, preferably with nuts. I thank you, Dan ... CayCay
