As haunted human beings

Fall down to the ground...

scarecrows stranded in the snow...
sparkling icicles

a darkened cornfield crackles

Harvest time scarecrows
Seems to attract the crow’s nest
Not one crow’s afraid
Scarecrows scares only themselves
Nothing disturbs the crow’s perch

Scarecrows against sky

Stand against feathered black

Protect inner eye.

pumpkins sit and smile
                scarecrows wave from empty fields
                            welcoming winter

crisp leaves underfoot
deep purple bright red and gold
the glorious woods

an aged beauty
now the joy once my garden
as love lies bleeding

orange leaf shower
campfires scarecrows and hued gourds
brisk refreshing air...

September stifles summer’s breath
Eases itself in at sunrise
Panders
To forthcoming pumpkins
Engages Autumn’s wild chorus
Meanders among the scarecrows 
Blows kisses to the migratory
Energizes the nest builders
Repaints again Fall’s sated blush...

I
The golden sun dips, below the horizon is where it grips 
Shemu will arrive early, farmers in a flurry 
The final grains trickle, time not mickle 
Sickles drawn, scarecrows menace gone 
The coming of the harvest, standing in the shadow of the darkness

Autumn clouds my breath
creating contrails
of misty vapors
that gets snatched away
by a feisty breeze.

Color swiftly
diminishes,
as the wind strips
skeletal trees.

And scarecrows
abandoned
in mud fields,

welcome
Winter's

snow.

Inane acts of heroism,
fail to conquer trepidation
There's always an escape, seems
this time, I run far too late
Scarecrows, past abominations
form the briefest hesitaion,
a familiar scent, anxiety,
I guess one more scar won't kill me.
A taste of first love?
I waited,
I waited,
I think I waited long enough...

Orange blooms at dusk
goblins in the pumpkin patch
rich fall's come again

ghosts haunt dark cool nights
scarecrows wave in harvest fields
sad trees weep colors

devils on doorsteps
trick or treat candy cane lane
warm fireside cider

gaudy, red nosed clown
creeping like sun going down
when wind is howling...

Scarecrows
Birds foes

Farmland
They stand

Dress codes
Old clothes

Plus hat
With that

Deploy
Decoy

Away
Birds stay

No fear
This year

Good yield
From field

Without
A doubt

The best
Harvest

Straw guy

Straw gal 
As well.

Red kite
Rare sight. 

Soft paws
Sharp claws. 

Sun low
Gold glow. 

Teen bride 
Mom cried. 

Birds sing
It's spring. 

Potus
Flotus. 

King lear
Shakespeare. 

Join gym
Get slim. 

No crows 
Scarecrows. 

Can't sleep
Count sheep. 

Rich girls 
Wear pearls.

Pretty wood Devil's Curse
Cherry Beach Narrow's turns
Sacrificial as the Scarecrows Tears
In the heat of the moment tne Icycle learns
Tear drops Fade Away
twisters on my tongue
Hurricane's feel the waves
Bone's curse invoking GOD's praize
Turning up the Welcomed Volumed Grace
Never a chance to escape ArrowsHeads
A twenty sack sounds very Great...

Harvest Ale, pumpkins for sale
Breezy colors floating flying 
Fluttering leaves, dying trees

With each colorful beginning 
Of yellow, orange, red, 
Marks a yucky ending;
crispy brown, and dead.

Hot apple cider, and Halloween
Trick or treat, but tricks are mean.
Rows of scarecrows, gardening hoes
For fields of squash not squish.

Three performers enter the room.

Two children.

One adult.

The children stand like two scarecrows in a rice field.

The adult takes a can and sprays the children;

careful not to miss a spot.

The children put their hands down and prepare to exit,

The adult whispers,

“they’re everywhere”.

There are many things I love
About the cool Autumn months
They include scarecrows, apples
Bonfires and hay rides

Pumpkins are a favorite
So is the corn of the fields 
The coolness of the crisp air
And apple cider

All these things bring great feelings
During this time of the year
I surely do love the fall
And all that’s in it

The coffin lid slowly rises, opens
Followed by skeletons and ghosts galore
To the side are the pumpkins with their grins
The scarecrows with their ravens to implore
All gather at the cornstalks shedding sins
They wander off to some homes to explore
They spring fear straight to the hearts of many
Who run for life, pleasing this company

A plastic owl stood guard upon
A city window ledge,
Most likely so a pigeon wouldn’t
Strut there on the edge.

But urban creatures aren’t fooled
By something clearly fake.
Their city cred, much more than where they land,
Is what’s at stake.

Though farmers may use scarecrows
So their crops will thus survive,
All the savvy city critters
Wouldn’t fall for all that jive....

A book's a friend come winter's merciless frost
Outside, the teeth of Summer's scarecrows chatter
Reading days by lazy streams and willows lost
To brutal snows and howling nights they've scattered

A book's companionship's bought with little cost
The pittance spent per hundred page no matter
For deep within each line of buried treasure
Each sacred winter's night becomes a pleasure...

Outside the house of a great and despised lord
There hangs an awesome scarecrow of might and fright
He’s ferocious and heartless in one accord
His beady eyes light up red, glows in the night
He starts fires in the pits under his control
To create fear in mortals inside this hole
Other scarecrows surround the fire just smiling
Knowing man’s time has come, they will be dying
