The Witches Three – Poem Monstrous Halloween

The prompt for Monstrous Halloween for today is: witch

I figured I would share one of my favorite entries from last year’s Halloween challenge I participated in titled ‘The Witches Three‘. Maybe it will make you screech in delight!

—————

When ye host the witches three,

Best ye feed them well…

For if they leave unsatisfied,

They’ll surely cast a spell…

Young Hilda craves fresh eyes of newts,

Captured from the glade…

Matilda wants chilled old snake blood,

She drinks like lemonade…

Dear Flo, who is the last of three,

Requires a special palate…

Don’t fix her types of any cheese,

Just serve her bat wing sallat!

The Cemetery, A Twittering Tale For Monstrous Halloween

Sally hated walking past the cemetery at night but sometimes life made it necessary. Like tonight, when she missed the last bus home. It wasn’t a long walk, just creepy. She was halfway past when the ground at the cemetery’s edge burst open and out poured a stream of ghosts. Boo!

Dahlia, Flower Of The Day

This year was the first my wife and I planted any Dahlia bulbs. The results were well worth it! Such a beautiful bloom on these flowers.

I may have to use this photo for a poem or two.

I hope you enjoyed this Flower of the Day for Cee’s Challenge

Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!

Add Your Touch, A Flash Fiction

The community “Add Your Touch” sand drawing event was considered a success for being in it’s first year. Each of the eight participants, ages ranging from 6 to 84 years old, added their own element to the picture creating this final masterpiece.

I, Stanley Wrightmoor, was there to witness this event and interview the artists on site. I asked each of them what they added and why. Let’s see what they had to say!

Betty, 84 – I drew the sun. Without it none of us would be here and who doesn’t like a happy sun in any picture?

Brad, 61 – I added the house. It resembles the house that our family calls home.

Suzy, 59 – I added Dad, the man there on the right. I know he would have wanted to be here, but he passed this spring.

Cheryl, 38 – The sky needed some clouds,like in Heaven with my grandfather, so those were my contribution. We miss him so much!

Bobby, 17 – I added the Benjamin Franklin on the left because I just got some “Benjamins” from my first job!

Michael, 11 – I added the other planets in our solar system. I just had to do a report on the planets and dwarf planets, see that little circle right there? That’s Pluto.

Sally, 7 – I drew the kitty cat. I like kitty cats.

Sam, 6 – I drew the dog to chase Sally’s cat away. She’s my sister and I like dogs better!

Well there you have it, folks. The exciting details of this year’s “Add Your Touch” sand drawing event. We’ll be sure to follow this exciting event in the future.

Signing out, Stanley Wrightmoor.
