Scary Halloween Night

Halloween Scenes 2018 October 001

The midnight moon arrives low in the sky

Another wicked witch stands ready to fly

 

Rising from his barren, freezing coffin this night

Dracula seeks a bloody treat before dawn’s light

 

All of the spirits, zombies, goblins, and others

Arrive for a Halloween dance like none other

 

The trick or treaters have long since been in bed

With their high blood sugar rushing to their heads

 

Howling under the dark, scary night—preparing to slay

The ferocious werewolf, inclined to frighten and prey

 

How are you sleeping on this dreadfully dark night?

While the darkness brings horror and much fright!

Tasty Chocolate Bar

Waking up too early, in quite a wretched fickle

Checking my coins, cannot even find a nickel

 

Spending my last bit of change last night

For a delicious Hershey bar, my delight

 

Taking a long, relaxing walk in the woods

Then finding myself farther than I should

 

Stopping to snack on a sweet Hershey bar

I realize that my journey has gone too far

 

Suddenly from behind a cluster of pine trees

Comes something much, much bigger than me

 

A hungry black bear scampers towards me

I flee the scene at a harried pace, you see

 

The famished bear welcomes a tasty, sweet treat

For my yummy chocolate bar has fallen at his feet

Television’s Precious Gifts

Television brings us plenty to enjoy and view

There is so much to check out—both old and new

For some, 24-hour news channels keep them up-to-date

On whatever will be the day’s events and our fate

Growing up and watching many children’s shows

Most of them teach what there is to know

Movies, movies, movies of every genre and taste

Some make people finish dinner in a big haste

For those wanting to laugh, there are funny sitcoms

Some may even remind one of his dad or mom

Viewing dramas fills others’ interests and time

Certain shows will become daily favorites of mine

Now even more choices are available for all of us

The Internet offers even more shows without the fuss

 

 

 

Early Morning Moments

Watching the flame dance in early dawn

Feeling the warmth of a new born fawn

 

Warmed by an early morning, blazing fire

Viewing a hungry deer jumping over a wire

 

Enjoying a comforting warmth from the fireplace

Seeing a startled pair running to a new place

 

Dreaming of a day to stay inside by the flames

Looking out of a window to see deer playing games

Morning Coffee

Smelling the rich aroma on another early morn

Anticipating the initial taste, like being reborn

 

Certainly one cup will not be enough today

A second cup causes worries to fade away

 

As Dolly Parton sings, “Pour myself a cup of ambition”

Coffee will definitely be my regular morning addiction

 

Waking up on a chilly, frosty, dark day

Jumping out of bed to be on one’s way

 

Hurrying down to the kitchen, what is this?

No coffee!  An empty cup offers no bliss!
