As Clean as a Whistle

...As Clean as a Whistle

The park is a dance of colour
as leaves pirouette and waltz
around brazen, undressed trees.
November, and the sun sits weakly
even rather streakily in the sky
while I fo...

...Dark red, luscious apples felled from her own tree long ago
Under the beaming sun plummeted with a soft, aching blow

The sweat drips and plops, scruple over a furrowed brow

And I can just barely see
The thin, pale white lines

The girl who’s not so far gone
Not as dead as you think
But instead of watching skin bleed

and she is now in Pet Heaven,
just a mere five years old, but she left a hole the size of the Grand Canyon
in the heart of a blue-eyed earth angel.

...It all sparks off
With the mention of the park
Her white tail twirling
Relishing the renewal 
Of her communion with nature
Her contact with her ancestral past

Then off to the park in the car

...Halloween is time to go scaring.
In costumes, you go about wearing;
then knock on some doors,
with yelps, hoots, and roars;
sweet candies reward for your daring!

...Vengeful spirits are the most powerful ghosts
the ghost story reader says to the slumber party girls.
Amy's poltergeist gets angry and pulls a curtain down
It lands on the dog’s head
The dog yelp...

Sounds of a dark symphony
A mysterious cacophony
Sends chill up and down the spine
Shadows chase the light of a full moon
Across meadow and forest green

Bombarded with thoughts, surrounding with fences 

Not damaged by a weapon of cast 
But overpowered by an incident from the past 

Waves of emotions r...

Said I didn't have the jurisdiction

The ice resurrects steely bacteria 
will our antibiotics endure?

But never yelps,
Do this, do that,
