Spooky Season has arrived! To celebrate my favorite time of the year, I’ve challenged myself to write one micro-poem a day until October 31st.
I will be updating THIS blog post with each new entry, or you can follow the original challenge on Twitter. Either way, it’s going to be fun!
Who’s ready to get SPOOKY? 🎃
Hear the macabre chimes
Of bone on bone
As they sway in the wind
And call us home
1/31
One million jagged teeth
Smile widely in the night
Calmly waiting to bequeath
His eternal appetite
2/31
She is standing
Right behind you
Avert your eyes
And pray
3/31
Find the horseman's
Severed head
It's shaped like a pumpkin
And full of dread
But if you can't find it
Best beware
For he may take yours
And place it up there.
4/31
Tangled webs teeming with lies
Catches the most scrumptious flies
So the spiders pulling strings
Can saunter down and eat like kings
5/31
In a trap
With no way out
I close my eyes
And wait.
6/31
Fertile soil in my hand
Use my body for this land
Compost me and let me rot
In the communal garden plot
7/31
Jack-O-Lantern in the night With his smile gleaming bright Keeps the evil ghosts away So our kids can run and play 8/31
Do not seek the hidden room Or it may become your tomb For the secrets locked away Are anxious to enact our doom 9/31
If you've got spirits in your head Come to me-don't be misled I have the cure for all your ails At one of my trepanning sales! 10/31
This contract, Bound in blood, Cannot be Reversed. 11/31
A raven's dark cry Echoes off the silent tombs Calling out the dead 12/31
Ring the bells of the dead Wake them from their earthy bed So they can rattle in the night And dance until the morning light 13/31
Respect the bones of our Elders For they have a lot to say And even though they're dead and gone Their children must obey 14/31
Icy fingertips Snake down my spine Chilling me to the bone And taking what is mine 15/31
An autumn wind blows Through the headstones Alerting the dead- Their time has come. 16/31
They came from the stars In ships as bright as day Looking for the people They'd like to take away 17/31
Though your mind may wander And your spirit may roam free You must remember, dear Your body stays with me 18/31
My crystal ball and tarot cards Reveal your hidden fate Step into my wagon, dear Let's see what we create 19/31
