Disdain for Halloween

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Knock, knock

Who cares?

 

One ghoul

One witch

One dragon

So which?

 

A mask

A cape

A masquerade

Too many choices

Just homemade

 

Clowns, gowns,

frowns, sounds

Candy fuelled up-side-downs

 

M&Ms and Musketeers

Decorations disappear

Toilet tissue in our trees

End of October, 90 degrees

 

Boo! and Gasp!

Shriek! and fall

Why must we do this holiday at all?

The Gardener

The Gardener

Barren field, empty vessel

Void mind, Forgotten heart

Canvass

Secret sins, miss the mark

Come up short, make mistakes

Compost

Whispers on wind, child speaks

Sunset, sunlight, tug on heart

Seed

Blood shed, heart ache

Sacrifice, relationship

Water

Others... just others

Teaching, leading, showing, living

Fertilizer

Beauty, babies, fruit

Arrangement, purpose

Flower
