When weekend comes around
I enjoy a Chinese take away
There’s plenty of flavours to go at
Come All Hallows’ eve, I avoid it completely
Heavens allow … it’s not anything religious
Events might conspire….where I get a visit from the piggy that The
Spare ribs came from
At the top of the hill
you would have thought
the wind and the rain
would have aided the bales
into the nearby hedge
but bundled as they are
the bales are secure
in the knowledge that
until required
they’ll be sticking around
for a bit

On Halloween Night
the tables were turned
for there was nothing more frightening
to the monsters , ghosts and ghouls
than the sight of little children
playing peek-a-boo
under their bedsheets

Sleeping content
lying on a rug in the corner
enjoying a wonderful dream
engaging with a big wool ball and
playing with it till tea time
you’d play with it more – but miss
cuts of finest ham , chicken or beef ? dont think so
and until your owner calls, your eyes will stay shut
then you’ll dart off to the kitchen – where your meals lie

Golf can be a treacherous game
walking out miles from the safety
of the cosy clubhouse
to the first tee
journey rugged to a deceptive beauty
ball carefully placed on the tee
club measured for the perfect weight of shot
but golfer beware
for out on the windy cliff
you may find your golf shoes
changed for wellington boots
depending on where the ball lands

October Skyline
Sends out a creepy message
Halloween is near
You could say its light
from the moon or street lanterns
but summats moving
Calling to them all
whether dead or alive
its halloween – jive!
so out with message
invitation for the night
enjoy a good fright
#Fowc #Music
Something with a definite Rythym
Something with a definite Hum
Don’t need an expensive instrument
Percussion can be more than a drum
tapping a beat down the street
using a gate, or a wall
or perhaps some dustbin lids
bringing a tune to all
Double bass made from a Tea Chest
Tuba from an old Garden Hose
rice , peas and beans in a sealed up tin
what tunes can come from those
Improvised Music, from everyday things
can bring smiles to people with the tune it brings
Might not be the Royal Albert hall
but we’re all having fun – and having a ball!

They say dogs are cleverer than cats
but this one stands tall among the rest
despite the fact he’s rather small
he drives the other dogs bats
for he can skateboard, paint and take on the best
running his opponents for a bone
and while other dogs hit the wall
he’ll take the prize without a moan

Positioned
under a shady spot waiting for
moonlight of all hallows eve
preparing for arrivals of
kreepy ghosts
in the
night time garden
#octpowrimo #darkness
Sun goes behind the skyscrapers
while the moon heads up in the sky
cats head out on a midnight feast
while owls begin to fly
mother birds tend to their chicks
while they all try to sleep
and dads head out to the garden lawn
for morsels they to creep
lightbulbs illuminate houses
and light travels down the street
as people wonder off to bed
awaiting the milkmans beat
