Spoookeee

SPOOOOKEEEE Lost in the woods On All Saints Night Chill in my blood Moon’s a fright Its ring around Is red as hell And distantly The doomsday bells Eerie bongs Tis truly said One short two long Will wake the dead Hark those strains The dies irae Tell of pains On judgment day Oh where to go? At last I fear The rooster crow No more I’ll hear Dave Austin

This reminds me of how many of your amazing writes I'd missed out on. Am swept up by this All Saints Night timeline. Much of an Aladdin's Lamp...poof!...More of Daver's genie!!! Keep well, best wishes...Love, Mikki

Mirrors, do you truly believe what a piece of glass will say, Daver? A bottle might talk to some, but a mirror will say only what the viewer thinks and will see no further than the surface. Wasn't vanity one of the seven deadly sins? Love you, Mikki :)

I like this bit of goth/ Edgar Allen Poe piece. Thanks for reading my Wordsmith featured poem :)

A very good poem enveloped in a dark and spooky atmosphere. Ideal for All Saints night. // paul

You certainly sound spooked. Love the atmosphere. Now as to wheelie bins, an Australian domestic, waste, icon. Basically a wheelie bin is a big square, plastic trash can, with wheels. They should take a weeks worth of rubbish, and the garbage trucks have arms designed to lift them for hands free emptying. I should write a dedication. Maybe after a few beers.
