Haiku: by Tom

the twin of hocus-pocus
or coincidence.

Hocus-pocus, modus ponens,
“Knowledge” boosts your serotonins:
If your case has come unglued,
Wave your hands to save your mood....

All other than serious verse, bogus;
He doesn’t believe in any hocus- pocus.
Ideals! He’d never drop;
But see the funny flip- flop,
Finally, limerick is his focus....

They waited 300 years to the day
For a virgin’s dumb fingers first to lay
	Upon the dark candle
	And light its black mantle
The witches are back – now there’s Hell to pay

I found a book of ancient spells
It’s hard to read and it smells
I found it at a German bookstore
“My current meal is such a bore,
so this spell I scream and shout
give me a heaping wad of sauerkraut”...

as I know it somehow

external forces
internal course

wish him deed
did your nurse said

mexican houses
hocus pocus

and the suit
like a quilt

Pattersun

HUBBLE TROUBLE

Maybe it’s magic or hocus-pocus
Some kind of spell is cast on me
A telescope in space, who knew
It takes a while to adjust the view
Earth orbit, not yet interplanetary
But images I see are out of focus...

Looking back the mind can focus
 on the mix and match hocus pocus
 but the heart alone can see 
 the future you and me.

I caught a draft
In the Cenotaph,
Honoring a dead man
Who was not there

The clergy saw me shiver,
Got me a chair,
The ceremony went on
And I died right there

Well at least I provided
The funeral focus
Although, for years,
There were rumors
Of Hocus-Pocus...

They say it's only
Hocus Pocus but
Halloween is our focus
Haunted house creepy
Ghost what do you
Like the most
Enchanted broomstick
In the mist oh how
I wish October was here
Because anything You
Think of will Appear
The Phantom Is here
To give you a fright
Good night...

Eerily eager evil enigma elevated eleven renaming egg land.

Meager minis liked their initial idea eggplant ready.

Beefily blatantly weird in a diddly extra wiggly way.

I was ready, reved, relieved and willing my elevated eight.

black anklet twelve will enter evil eggland...

Our Internets connected that day 
Conversations went wild as the wind 
Cool, calm and collected 
Detached and unaffected 
Then you entered..... 
Centering your focus 
Yes just like magic 
Pure hocus-pocus 
My precious love I give 
To thee 
From now until infinity 
You rewind my mind to a 
Love beyond time...

Heads bowed, eyes focused,
The magic of the Hocus Pocus. 
Transfixed, in a spell
Nothing else will they dwell.
Walking around zombified
Surely brains, have been fried.
Life ruined, no conversation,
Texting now the inspiration.
Grasp of language, long forgotten,
Shortened text – yuk, it’s rotten,
GR8, LOL, TLC, OMDB,
Worlds gone mad, OMG!!...

Hocus pocus! Look, a crocus 
Poking through the ground!
Weather’s warm so I should focus -
Flowers might be found.

Buds are blooming; I’m assuming 
Petals will appear.
Time to stop my indoor Zooming;
Signs of spring are here.

Joggers baring legs and wearing
Shorts and tees or tanks.
Not me yet but I’m preparing
Soon to join their ranks....

Out of control and down hill fast
Wondering if this life will be snuffed out at last

Stuck on the rails like an antique car
Bumpity, bumpity jerk, jar

The scenes are going too fast to focus
Was this life just hocus pocus?

Tears won't stop the heavy momentum
Physics are against us, check the sum

Hang on till the end
Another life I must lend....

The media's only thing we like sordelco for the pour
Where alcoves only pair theirselves for hocus pocus bhore
When all who watch heir listen more their cautions for alt time
Wear otius ferries for their trelves of cratious varied core

And take what honor's left in them
to traceous torried gore
When all that's left to face in them
is how or right they horror...

Abracadabra

Say Abracadabra, Ala kazam
Jette with Bibity Bobity Boo!
Array a wish that your heart makes
Displays Hocus-Pocus! Poof! Magic comes true!

Open wide Seasame – first star to the right –
Reopen happy thoughts for magical things
Tokens of pennies fly from wizard’s wands
Spoken Shazam - Presto Chango on wings!

While out walking, my surroundings
Seemed a bit impressionistic
And I wondered why I thought so
Since I’m really not artistic.

But the scenery and people
Looked like paintings by Monet
And I knew I never noticed
Things appearing quite that way.

All at once I had the reason
And there was no hocus-pocus.
I forgot to wear my glasses
And the world was out of focus!...

Halloween

Hocus pocus hexing spells
Apparition screams and wails
Lantern O Jack roams the earth
Living dead Hallow Eve rebirth
Occult supernatural yearly show
Witches silhouettes in moonlight glow
Eyeballs eerie bloodshot stare
Evil presence every where
Necromancy summons dead to awaken
.............restless souls undead celebrating
