Beware Traveler Upon This Night

...Looming shadows ‘neath sapphire skies;
“whooo whooo” the hooty owl cries.
Jack-o-lanterns scowl beneath the trees
as we shiver in the chilling breeze.

Where tombstones tower above the lands

Guess Hoot

...The same old path I took each day;
No encounters were received.
Just a plain old trek; the same old way;
So monotonous I believed.

Sure, the gardens, they were lovely;
So many diffe...

Orville the Owl

...This here's a hoot!
Bout a hooty old coot
With the wonderful name of Orville
You can hear him at night
Hooty-hooing his plight
From his lonely old perch up the hill

When Crystal Breaks

...I like to cuss sometimes

With starlight sprinkling all of your dreams.

Colorado Harvest Moon

...trails to reminisce and dream,
Their glowing faces brightened by the harvest moon's mellow beam!

The moon beams benignly o'er Colorful Colorado giving to all a sheen!

When autumn winds begin to blow and trees stand bare and so a...

To don an elegant golden robe for a few short-lived days.

atop my desk.

though he never gives a hoot
least none that I can hear
but please, just call...
