Girl With a Knack (poem)

This smiling face is named Jack!

Brought forth by a girl with a knack,

She puts smiles on faces,

Gives quite the embraces,

And for her, I keep coming back!

A short and cheerful rhyme to brighten your day.

My wife and I carved this pumpkin the other day. She put the smile on the pumpkin and puts smiles on so many faces in her life, most definitely mine!

Have a great day!

Halloween Challenge, Day 15: Dearest Demon (poem-ish)

My dearest demon,

Oh my demonous fiend how I love thee,

You make so many scream when you are with me…

Your eyes they glow the best hues of burning,

You leave so many with stomachs churning…

I can’t wait until next time I am with you,

When we can fulfill our deepest desires, doing what demons do.

Love Always,

Deranged Individual

All in good Halloween fun! I don’t believe falling for a demon does anyone any good. Have a great day!

Halloween Challenge, Day 14: Bathroom Elf (poem)

Each morning, in the bathroom, I’ve found hair on the sink,

I know it’s not mine since what I have is not pink…

I discovered today the mysterious source,

A girl with pink hair like the mane of a horse…

It flows down her back, nearly reaching the floor,

I saw it this morning as I opened the door…

When she saw me she fled, back under the shelves,

Has anyone else heard of these bathroom elves?

Need a last minute costume idea? How about a bathroom elf like the story above (or just about any elf)! Here’s the goods:

The hair!
The ears!
and a Nice Elven Dress to complete the ensemble!

Halloween Challenge, Day 13: The Thirteenth Lie (story)

12 hooded figures stood in a circle in a clearing surrounded by pines. The light of the full moon the only source of illumination, not enough to see the individual young faces beneath their hoods.

“Where’s Rachel? She was supposed to bring the doll!”, said the tallest of the figures, the apparent leader of this proceeding.

“I am here”, came a rushed voice as the last of the thirteen stepped into the clearing.

“Did you bring it?”, the taller figure asked expectantly.

“Yes, yes I have it here.”, Rachel answered.

“Then let us begin. Place the doll in the center and then join the circle.”

Rachel placed the doll onto the ground in the center and then stepped back to join the others, closing the last gap in the circle.

“There is power in us and there is power in lies! Let us bind to this doll the fate of the one who has berated and bullied us all!”, the leader began.

“Cast back your hoods and let the moon shine bright upon you. Let all here see who would cast this curse and speak the lie. I shall go first.” There was a brief pause as the leader Meghan pulled back her hood, then in a monotone voice she spoke, “Water is dry.”

She looked to the girl on her right. Sarah pulled back her hood and spoke in a similar monotone voice, “The sun brings us darkness.”

The next girl removed her hood and spoke, “The Earth is flat.”

Around it went, each girl speaking a bold faced lie until it reached Rachel, the last of the thirteen. Let this lie be the one to seal her fate, she thought to herself. Pulling back her hood, her eyes glinting in the moonlight she spoke, “Julie is nice to us all.”

The doll began to glow with an unearthly light, its eyes appeared to twinkle, then the glow faded away. The curse complete, Rachel retrieved the doll. She gave the doll’s hair a sharp yank…

Across town, Julie screamed at the sudden pain. Her hair, she was sure, had been yanked but she was in her room alone. Poor Julie, her world was about to get a lot more dark…
