October
Forr Linda G Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “starts with ‘m’.” Use any word that begins with the letter “m” as the subject or theme for your post. Enjoy!-
I chose ” Macabre “
Each day in October
I give myself permission to capture
each dark cloud that drifts by.
Each day in October
I go looking for monsters
from the second I open my eyes to when I close them at night.
Macabre and Merry Mayhem
strikes my still heart to life with a peal of thunder
each day in October
and every single night.
The Nervous Tenants
Word of the Day Challenge: Nervous
Did I check the basement door
a hundred times before
I went up to the attic last night?
Did I lock the front door
check the windows
upstairs
a hundred times before
I walked the halls to my rooms
each night?
I can’t say, I can’t remember
if I checked the locks on the doors
a hundred times before
but I know I should, I know I must
because I hear desperate voices ask each other all night
” Did you hear that? Did you see that?”
When I haunt my house
each night.
Six Days and Counting
There are six days left until Halloween-
there is no going back now.
