The love song echoed
Among the picturesque hills.
They laughed despite their shrill voices.
Trees tremble as leaves fall.
Golden Autumn was approaching.
Still, all is fresh and alive.
Above, clouds rushed among the dark purple trees.
The whispering leaves, the humming breeze,
As large geese flew towards the south.
Yet robins would not be left behind.
Whilst Dunnocks used their song
As they asserted their dominance with their mates.
Yet suddenly, the sky darkens, threatening,
The two lovers ran toward their sleek car.
A timeless dance of pitter-patter
The rhythm of light raindrops gave them warmth,
They had prepared a delicious assortment of eatables.
Then switching up their radio,
Left the vale and drove into the broad thoroughfare
Towards their cosy and spacious house in the town.

The hourglass sat on the mantelpiece,
Over a dead fireplace.
Its sand had long settled
In the lower globe of the glass.
The miser and the fire were both dead,
The wake followed suit.
No one was invited, no eatables or drinks.
A dreary affair.
Yet so final,
Like the hourglass.
It's inertia spelled his death.
The unpaid solicitor finished his stock taking
But kept the hourglass for himself.

The Enemy may have won this round
But wait until the next one coming
I'll be able to attack furiously
With all my demons pushing me onward
The Enemy keeps making threats to me
But I’m certain I’ll be the top dog
Pride might be my strongest point
But I know how to get the humans
The Enemy is wiser than I gave Him credit
He knows the human’s hearts better
I have to go by their past sins and failures
Bringing them up to them to distract them
The Enemy has the opportunity to keep them
While I want to take them to hell with me
They mean delicious food for me and my own
But the enemy simply loves them unconditionally
The Enemy thinks the humans are worth it
But I know they aren’t worth more than me
They don’t deserve to go up to heaven with Him
To live in love, joy and peace forever and eternally
The Enemy never grows weary of saving them
And after death they merely move into His presence
While I need them to go with me to be eatables
Down there where the worst will be taken
Sincerely,
Screwtape

No Selfie Dear…an Elfie
Students in Thailand stood in front,
They clicked, clicked and clicked many a selfie;
Standing behind, the elephant posed,
Posed and posed silently for many a selfie.
They tired him and his stretched trunk
Got no fruits or eatables; they were for only selfie.
The big friend’s hungry eyes their tab eyed
To eat, but on touch, the screen gave out an ‘elfie’!
