Russell Sivey Poet Rispetto

Night of the Evil Cast

The sky is grey, as dark as the soles of shoes
Crows fly beyond the moon’s glow this evil night
The moon has lost its power, paying its dues
Surrounding the darkest house without its light
Pumpkins that are carved light a pathway upwards
Leads to a door cast with spells of evil wards
Halloween’s tonight, trick or treating allowed
Nothing left is good, safety is disavowed

Russell Sivey

Timothy Hicks October 31, 2014 at 12:32 AM You make one feel scared to let kids prance about from door to door asking for candy... those last two lines are just plain eerie. You really get in the spirit of the holiday don't you? I enjoyed your pen, with it's effortless rhyme.

Therese Bacha October 30, 2014 at 4:55 PM Hi my very good old friend, oh Russell. I missed you and was so worried about you, as I passed a few times to see if you are writing again. I feel you are a little bit not ok, is anything wrong my friend?. Sad but as usual the master in writing. Bless you , hope to hear from you. Love Terry xoox

Carol Eastman October 30, 2014 at 11:05 AM Happy Halloween. A great one here for the holiday... PS. Dragon was first written in 2-25-2013 in 'Kiss The Rain'. I will kep him at 2 years old because it makes him cute, mischevious... and always in trouble... yet a child so easily forgiven... Hoppe the stories don't run out.
