Scene: Hanging On

[Begin scene]

Changed and brittle, a few orange-red leaves remain, hanging on to a branch that has shed all the rest…

Neighbors have fled, a fall to the ground, yet these few cling to their precarious perch…

One day, they too must succumb and join the others who fell before them, a fate all of us face…

On this morning, however, they can still bask in the glow of the morning sun, another chance to sway in the breeze.

It is so easy to succumb to these Halloween Challenges…so much fun!

Here is day 14 for JNW’s Halloween Challenge: Spider in limerick form.

[Begin scene]

I know of this one little spider,

Who likes to drink warm apple cider,

With a cinnamon stick,

He drinks it down quick,

Then each day grows a little bit wider!

The prompt for day 12 of JNW’s Halloween Challenge is “bat”. Let’s be creative.

[Begin scene]

The once was a goat named, “Bat”,

For his ears made him look like that…

One day in the barnyard he sat,

And said “I’d look better wearing a hat!”…

“Naaaay!”, said Horse, “You don’t need a hat.”,

“Baaaah!”, said Sheep, “You look fine like that.”…

“Cluck, cluck”, said Chicken, “We like you for you.”,

“Thank you!”, said Bat, “I like all of you too!”

And he didn’t feel the need to wear a hat again for his ears to be cloaked.

The challenge prompt for day 13 of JNW’s Halloween Challenge is “broom” Here we go!

[Begin Scene]

A witch flies across the sky on her broom,

Cloaked in the darkness of night…

Visible only when in front of the moon,

on her way to give someone a fright!

[End Scene]

Have a fun Friday!!
