October creeps amid the shadows
October creeps amid the shadows
Lengthening
The shortness of the day
Dancing amid the pumpkins
Chortling in its chill
Adding boney fingers to the trees
Reaching into our fears
Tickling with terror
The mystery of a gleeful night
As demons dance with ballerinas
Midget masterminds plot
Against larger super heroes
Trembling
As the door opens
A hand reaches out
A shriek, a panic of footsteps
A hollow laughter trailing
October
She scares ‘em

As Winter Softly Creeps
“The snow did not even whisper its way to earth, but seemed to salt the night with silence.” — Dean Koontz
Inhaling quietude, I watch
glistening pearls swirling in twilight’s sky.
The silence deepens as winter softly creeps
into the night

Darkness creeps, slow
Thoughts weigh, cold
Hope fades, still

Autumn Creeps Up
The hot days of summer slowly fade away
Autumn takes over with blustery showers
tinted with some warm days others cold
still it creeps on causing leaves to curl up.
Vivid colours of browns, yellows and reds
drift down carpeting the land with piles
that hides insects ready 'to escape the cold,
land's chill and we know Jack Frost waits
He waits

Darkness Creeps Into the Eve
The eastern sky is smiling
As the blue begins to fade
Darkness creeps into the eve'
Like a willow masked in jade
Hues of red and orange
Brighten up the moon
As if the sky was all lit up
By a giant white balloon
As I sit and watch the wings of bats
Swerving through

Old Age Creeps Up On Sam
On Sam Adam’s 66th birthday
He felt old and run down
Just felt burned out
His body worn out
His vision fading
His hearing shot
His teeth aching
His back enflamed
He felt the breath
Of the coming of the end
The end of life
Coming for us all
As we age
And wait for death’s final embrace
Ending the pain of living
With pain every day.

Time Creeps Up
Time creeps up on us ever so slowly
Snatching up our youth and vigor,
Sometimes making us feel so lowly
Hence our Bentwood and our liquor.
Time went faster looking back on
Recalling those bygone days of bliss,
Only today, since yesterday is gone
Hungering for just that one more kiss.

Spooky Halloween Creeps
Pedophiles leap it’s Halloween
What is creepier than that?
They seize any opportunity
To hide up under a mask
Or they stand with candy in hand
Pretending to offer free treat
Your little ones in demand
For perverted eyes to feast
Should you go to the haunted house
Not knowing who will be there
Any spooky character who jumps out
One should really beware
Hard to not

Darkness Creeps
For a moment, brief as it was
there was light at dawn
but now
the darkness begins to creep in
slow and methodic edging, along the horizon
there - far off in the distant
paler shades of gray grow as if night
and the wind gusts wild, restless
teasing, tossing, taunting the trees
as the temperature drops
and humidity

Learning Young
Learning Young
From back when I was 7 and 8,
When candy bars cost 5 cents,
And “being polite” meant
Even to strangers. The wrinkled,
Baggy, old man, who
Lived in the basement apartment
Next-door, with the pass-time
Of sitting outside on his
Stoop atop five steps to ground level,
Would always call me over
To sit on his

If the Loneliness Creeps In
The normal joy of Christmas is dead in my house.
No enthusiasm or anticipation of laughter
It will be another day without family or friends
I may have a twinge or two of loneliness
But I will quickly tamp them down,
crocheting them into quilts of frolic and madness
The frolicking and madness of one.
One who can

Who Invited These Creeps
A funny thing happened to me the other day
I started seeing leprechauns on the freeway.
They pinched my cheeks and giggled in my ear.
I was driving fast, but they kept getting more near.
I turned to the purple glittery unicorn in the front seat.
Asked him who invited these creeps? They are simply not sweet!
The unicorn said

Rondure Creeps Revered
eerie contractions etched
fostering fractured fetch
poring punctured pulses
worn winds wield
felon feigns drooped
hoisting hankering drools
bruised barks moaned
heaving sigh sown
by blitzkrieg enthroned
dark diminuendo dribble
cupping callous cripple
nocturnal nature nimble
spunky shaver severed
rondure creeps revered.

Conversations With a Daughter: Creeps
"Conversations with a Daughter: Creeps"
Time creeps
my beautiful, clever, daughter
Weirdos are us
incorporated
There's that beautiful laugh,
that beautiful smile
Who wants to
belong here
they keep you on
the outer edge
that’s cool,
take all the time you require
that time that creeps
and swallows past mistakes
and imperfect perfect
recalcitrant pride and second takes
observe the real dynamics
of all
