Spring Sonnet
Spring Sonnet
The microscopic lifeforms in my soil

The surviving herbs, flowers, plus veggies.

Seven Uninvited GuestsThe gathered, outside my house, lingered long,
As if it were Halloween night -
A rogue's gallery of goblins and ghouls,

Helzabob met Mister at the DoorHelzabob had her own ways of tweaking spells a tiny bit

there far off
screaming fox
when unseen eyes
then look upon
from trees that hide
in cloak
and footsteps
cast a moments chill
in nights a’slashing

too many beans on Halloweenebony crow gave a twirl and his face turned green
he transmogrified into the witch’s scariest queen

no big surpriseThree chubby short stubby snorting gnomes came into the field.
They held a skeleton, a cauldron, and a jack-o-lantern from our yield.
Give that Jack back! I challenged the thief, who would not show me his eyes.
They...

staring into my witch's cauldronSoil with sabrino, boil with babinoes white
Fire of witches, fire with switches bright
I gaze into your depths, feeling amazingly light

colder than the wind from the east, like a witch’s kiss.

Flowers start to bloom
As spring brings beauty
To the scenery with
Verdant meadows and hills
Fun days at beach
as summer brings heat
Longer days, a treat
Summer breeze, so sweet
Before leaves...

Reading a book given to her by her mama
Perfecting her laugh, her giggles and her cries.
Her black cat gave her a weary look by crossing his eyes....

Happy Valloween!Roses are red, goblins are green
Just like my buddy, Frankenstein

From the Catacomb
Oh no, Tokoloshe is coming for me.
I don’t want to die.
Oh, my God, I better flee.

Oh no, Tokoloshe...
