October feels like summer
Kansas looks like the Ozarks
hills and trees, trees and hills

that most good times lay in my past.

and I cling to these both hard and fast.
My want to do useful things has remained,...

I swat at it with my notebook
clouds are moving tremendously slowly
an asymmetrical opening shows...

Look Out on Halloween!Be sure to look out
on Halloween Night.
For around every corner
is a scare and a fright.
Something rustling
in the bushes.
Something quivering
in the trees.
Something flying
overhead.
Something floating
in the breeze.
Something howling
in the forest.
Something rapping
on your door.
Something calling
out your name.
Something...

slashed from our forest trees.
As the haze builds
the town contorts into Sleepy Hollow,

up a hickory tree

a far off conversation
drowned out by ambulance siren

As I sit here upon this full moon,
it is October not hot June.
The comets whiz by playing a happy tune,
they make me want to swoon.
The space between stars is not empty hooray,
it is filled...

Sidewalk No8852Horror and dreadful cheers,
Forgetting absurdity,
Haunted by untold fears.
Tango with monsters & ghosts,
Guilty Pleasure, thus fits.
Revenants; our revered hosts.
Dreaming on the dark side,
With nightmares as close mates,
Intoxicated high tide.
There, a River...

It's Halloween NightIt’s October the 31st.
It’s Halloween night
Time for kids to dress up as witches, ghosts and goblins,
and go door to door trick or treating
at houses that are all decked out for Halloween with carved lit up...
