Halloween Challenge: Decorations

Here is day 21 of JNW’s Halloween Challenge: Decorations. This one also could be used for day 1 as one of my more favored decorations just happens to be pumpkins and Jack O’Lanterns.

 

[Begin scene]

Very many options there are,
With a pumpkin to decorate…

I’d say that they raise the bar,
Just what fun you can create…

They can range from friendly and cute,
With a smile you cannot refute…

Others are ever so creepy,
And some just simply are sleepy…

With a candle inside, to enlighten their eyes,
They make hallowed decors complete.

[End scene]

 

I think I lost my rhyme in there somewhere 😉

Halloween Challenge: Potion

Here is day 20 for JNW’s Halloween Challenge: Potion, in a bit longer poem than I originally expected.

[Begin scene]

Do you think one of these potions,
Would help me regrow my hair?

I’ve been through all other motions,
Yet my head remains quite bare!

It would be so very easy,
To take of these potions and drink.

Yet my insides feel a bit queasy,
There is much to fear I think.

One of them could bring to life,
a creature from deep within.

Oh how that would cause much strife,
I don’t even know where to begin!

Another might make me fall in love,
with someone I would rather not.

It makes me cringe now thinking of,
with whom I would tie the knot!

I think it is quite safe to say,
I’ll be leaving these potions sit.

My head will keep its hairless way,
And my life, I’ll get on with it.

Scene: Woodpile Wonders

[Begin scene]

A lightly wooded yard, grass still green between  the color changing trees…

Near an overgrown arborvitae there sits a small woodpile, a source of future warmth…

Leaves have fallen around the woodpile adding colorful accents to the drab dark setting…

A gem found along one of the larger logs, a fungal growth that looks like a flower with snow white petals…

Beauty can be found in places you would least expect, if you only look.

Scene: Stained Glass Morning

[Begin scene]

A yellow sun still beyond the horizon, the glowing sphere obscured…

A frame of branches and leaves give a setting to the light yellow glow announcing the arriving day…

The light and warmth released from our parental star, creating a beautiful sight to behold…

A scene as if captured in brightly colored glass, this stained glass morning.

[End scene]
