The Scarecrow

I have seen something and the something saw a me, a scarecrow, stuffed with straw in half with claims to more. The something’s not into onlookers. A well done, a taut, a plausible, I thought I looked alive but the insightful something said: «A chive can’t kill the stink of death». So ever since I have been thinking what the something means and what it meant… Don’t see some things up close if your vocation is to scare crows.

Midnight shadows beat scarecrows anytime in the fright department. As they climb walls, groan out evil moans, hisses and dire curses. Imagination is the bread of poetic creations , especially in the dark department of which we fallen humans are so adapt at.. Great poem .. A fav, too
