A chill and gloomy evening
As I tend to make my rounds
Shifting through each tombstone
That lies on sacred grounds
I was buried under cornerstone
A measure that must be took
To guard against the vagrant man
And most underhanded crook.
The Church Grim
According to folklore a church grim was a guardian spirit of an animal that would look over church grounds. Usually it would be buried underneath a church’s cornerstone.
A fisherman of many years
I know the sea quite well
But on this particular day
I must say
the waves they overwhelm.
The winds surround so gently
As I sing a hearty tune -
The nets are set overboard
Our boats guided by the moon.
A sway and unruly rocking
A crisp and gusty eve….
“Hoist the nets you merry men!”
And we let out a thunderous
“Heave!!”
But our catch was quite peculiar
Our catch was a maiden fair
She hummed a song that captivated
And let down her jet-black hair.
Our ears perked and listened
We all froze in our place
And one by one she called us
To our underwater graves.
The Fisherman And His Soul
Oscar Wilde
“I would send my soul away from me.”
My soul is naught to me -
I cannot see it,
I may not touch it,
I do not know it.
This years prompts -
Lost
Ink
Sea
Sleep
Underground
Illusion
Found
It happened on this particular night.
A frightfully scary sight.
When the moon was high,
And lit a darkened sky…
I simply could not believe my eyes!
A cause of great concern
I trembled and yelled to be heard!
I tried to talk,
I tried to speak,
I whimpered and I cried,
But made no peep.
I flailed my arms and then I ran…
If you saw it too you'd surely scram!
A night that was made for tricks or treats -
An empty bowl with no candy to eat!!!
Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Halloween.
Just a bit of a photo snap. Drawn bboy poster done by me a long time ago with Kano Kid Ghetto Blaster figure.
