Brenda's Photo Challenge! Poem: Halloween Witch

~~~

Halloween Witch


She rides through the night
by the light of the moon,
the Halloween Witch,
on her magical broom!

And always beside her
the black cat will stay,
to help with the mischief
and tricks she will play.

They're partners in mischief
who fly through the night,
causing much trouble
and causing much fright!

If you're out on this night,
I warn you, "Beware!"
They're sure to be waiting
to give you a scare!

Watch out for those two!
They are sure to be seen,
out, making their mischief
on this Halloween!

Poem: Reflections

...This little poem - though, not correct in form- says a lot about the changes in our lives...





Reflections


These days I seldom witness
children lying in the grass,
gazing skyward, making figures of the clouds.

This is of the past!

Flowers of the meadow,
mostly, go un-noticed and un-picked.
Lost now, to the masses!
Replaced by games - hand-held-
of flickering figures, fighting, flickering figures!

What a trick!

Is summer still enticing,
with sprinklers slinging water in luscious swirls?
With children dressed in summer garb
to frolic, roll and tumble;

Was this another world?

Do families still take meals together,
with all TV screens and games shut down, momentarily?
Is there sharing of the happenings of the day, of one and all?
Sadly, I would have to say,

” No, not ordinarily!”

I remember spending lots of time, looking at the clouds and picking wildflowers, when I was a child!
