Spooky Season

When the air is crisp,

with a chilly breeze,

fall puts a spell on me.

The leaves fall in a wisp,

as an artist weaves-

a portrait of the fiery sea.

Though, it’s not February,

love seeps through the air.

For all things spooky, and scary,

as we celebrate autumn without a care.

Bats fly above ours heads, as night-

falls, casting the stars a glow.

They are the land’s spooky light,

as we enjoy our time before the snow.

  • Right?

    Whispers so cruel flood the news,

    Filling many hearts with fear. 

    Some listen to only what they want to hear. 

    Their denial leaves a black and blue bruise. 

  • Shattering

    Sitting in uncomfortable silence,

    We wait for our problem to be solved.

    Changing my habits, I hope and hope.

    We have been given so much,

    And we have taken so greedily.

    Caring is beyond so many, it seems.
