Eager children await sweet treats
And colourful bags that have been filled
As well as pumpkins lined up to greet
Their tricks make the treats increase
All of the kids are thrilled
Eager children await sweet eats
A Jack-o-lantern is the centrepiece
And a black cat has just appeared
Pumpkins flicker along the streets
In scary ghosts, there's no belief
Ghost hunters are thrilled
Reaching out their hands for treats
Singing to the beat
Of cupcakes colour-sprinkled
Pumpkins are chanting along the street
Tonight, there'll be a feast
As Halloweeners' wishes are fulfilled
Eager witches give kids sweet treats
As ghouls and goblins fly to drumbeats!
It earns its place under the sun in May -
A tiny speck against the evergreen.
Nourished by raindrops poised for its display,
Slim but what Glory! In grand Nature’s scene.
In summer lush the flowers take the lead,
They have it all - a beauty and such scent.
Leaf in the woods, reluctant to concede,
Assumes supporting role in full consent.
In Autumn flash the leaf - a centrepiece,
Its pulsing palette wins and takes it all…
All Nature bends to seasonal caprice,
Leaf in the woods, from triumph to the fall.
Succumbs to weather whims, weak and worn-out,
It’s fleeting life leaves nothing but a doubt.

One of those castoff items that we shove
Promptly deemed ‘junk’ upon a second glance.
I hid you on the highest shelves above
With a slim ‘someday’ of a second chance.
In solitude you stoically withstood
The cruel confinement you were sentenced to.
With dogged demeanour of solid wood
You kept your composure as if you knew.
Oft butting heads over your checked acts,
My late dad and his dad battled so well.
Though I delved not in your strategic tracts,
My grandsons set you free from jail cell spell.
That chessboard - centrepiece I now hold dear,
Your pieces shine, each one is carved with love.
When boys butt heads I smile in silent cheer,
Imagine dads are smiling from above.
Artifacts may lose temporary trend,
Then triumph tenfold in the timely end.
And from the tree of knowledge, a serpent slid into view
He’d seen it all before, our future he already knew
Moses on some mountain, taking down the tablets god drew
Jesus climbing Calvary, being mocked by fellow Jews
Later history repeats, Galileo scanned the sky
Finds Earth isn’t the centrepiece, gets nailed for asking why
Then Newton made his calculations, watching apples fly
The serpent began nodding, he once gave apples a try
But the overall picture changed, when Einstein measured light
Bending it around stars, real answers warped into sight
His space predictions tied loose ends, causing a major fight
Others found black holes in the theories, they seemed none too bright
Wheelchair bound Hawking figured, but words wouldn’t roll his way
The serpent still hissing, refused to give the game away
Dawkins said god’s a delusion, so there’s no need to pray
Guth papered over cracks, his inflation holds out today
But who is this strange serpent, slithering about the tree
A messenger from our future, or some demigod ET
Charm from my imagination, man’s plain misogyny
Well if you look hard enough earthlings, you may see it’s we!
So there you have my story, blueprints are sketchy indeed
Just like I left out Darwin, because of half truths he freed
What about god, what about god David, who plants our seed
Well like most people, I’ll go searching in my hour of need

I don't know why some flowers bother,
To unfold their petals so late in the day,
At this time of year,
When there is such a nip in the air.
They might as well have stayed tucked up in their bed,
As come morning, I will only have to cut off,
What is left of their head,
With no chance of giving them even one peek,
In the hallway mirror,
To see themselves in full bloom,
Or to become the centrepiece on a well laid table,
For the guests to marvel at,
And comment on their rare beauty,
As they gently fondle their delicate petals.
Oh, what a cruel fate awaits those flowers,
Who fail to show up at their appointed time,
Giving no thought to the weather,
Or for the one getting out of bed to cut off their head,
And replace them with ones from the corner shop,
That will see themselves in the hall mirror,
And become a centrepiece at the table.

unsettling effect

subtle
crisis
of
naturalistic

Mint ripple spasm cool shrouds pulse my sprig fount
I shriek at cusp of dawn cricket hymn sheet peep
lambent cosmos vivid hues splash lilac wisps
upon my psychic visual wellspring blind float
golden petal yellow bird magnolia
I hoard as eye floss gemstone centrepiece
nirvana’s mauve lip step ladder an archway
to ecstatic rush reed clustered gateway’s hasp
inner self kaleidoscopic cartwheel swerves
sketch nightingale bone marrow spine chill belle chants
Yet the honeysuckle pastel strewn mead I
plod unveils ear worm madrigals of pure bliss.
