Rounded top above the ground,
Colored orange and gold…
Polka dots, all spread around,
White stem provides its hold…
Emerging growth, quite a sight,
Nestled near the trunk…
Popped up here, over one night,
A scintillating spunk!

Word of the Day Challenge: Scintillating
This is my entry for day 4 of the 31 Days of Halloween writing challenge hosted by Fluture over at Flutter by Literature (You are a bounty hunter, write your own obituary)
Be sure to check out my other entries day 1, day 2, day 3!
James T. Hunter has saddly passed,
Of what we dare not say…
At 40 years, he’s gone too fast,
Oh help his soul we pray…
Survived by none, his life too short,
He never settled down…
Instead he traced the evil sort,
And saved this quiet town…
A service time to pay respects,
We’ll hold tomorrow morn…
Then bury him where he expects,
The place where he was born.
Well, it flows nice but seems to need something more ghoulish for halloween. What do you think?

This is my entry for day 3 of the 31 Days of Halloween writing challenge (3. An apocalyptic disease breaks out. What happens? ) hosted by Fluture over at Flutter by Literature.
Please join in! The more entries, the more fun for all!
The news has started rolling in,
Whole towns died in the night…
The cause has been found to be,
A deadly parasite…
It seems there’s no escaping,
As it keeps each one from waking…
And the only thing we know for sure,
Is that there simply is no cure…
No matter what it is you do,
Don’t dare attempt to take a snooze,
Just simply sit and hold on tight,
And hope that things will be all right.
…
You’ve made it now for several days,
You haven’t given in…
Your thoughts are forming in a haze,
Your patience wearing thin…
Everyone you know has died,
Yes, even little Sue…
No holding on, at least you tried,
Now darkness takes you too.
Well, as much as everyone likes to think a disease that creates zombies would be terrifying, I find a cureless quiet passing sweeping the world just as frightening. Want zombies instead? Find Zombies at Amazon!*
