Halloween Fun

Sweet October

Music whispers from the forest
Mountains echo in reply
Chants of magic
Fall like raindrops
Beat the drum into the sky

Shades of summer
Lost in rainfall
Greens give way to browns
And all

All the colors of October
Yellow, orange and
vibrant red

Whisper softly, gentle music
Sounding through the forest glade
Drum in syncopation, Mountains
Rain in chants to serenade

For sweet October clothed in brown
has dropped her vibrant dressing gown.

Whispers of the Heart

A city screams in shades of silence
City of the dead
Simple statues, towering tombs
Whisper that you're gone.

An ever growing land of green
with marble and cement
Ornate and gaudy graves contain
Whispers of the heart.

The Goblin's Beast

The goblin's beast is keeping watch
His stare is grim and cheerless
Methinks he'd rather be released
To watch another night

The goblin then 'tis not at home
He's gone a hunting fearless
Methinks his pet deserves a feast
To starve him's just not right

The goblin's beast he's got a name
He certainly not earless
Methinks if I were this dear beast
I'd name meself Forthright

The goblin will return quite soon
He won't much like my nearness
Methinks I'll say goodbye at least
You ever faithful sprite

The goblin's beast is keeping watch
His stare is grim and cheerless
