Midnight Moon

Tuesday is the Poetics section for d’Verse Poets Pub. I am the pubtender for that day. I am requesting that people write poems about Halloween. It can be a retelling of a local ghost story, something fun about trick or treating, kids, candy, decorations. I chose to go a little dark on this one. This will be linked Tuesday to d’Verse when the post goes “live” or….undead…mmwwwwaaaaaaaaa!    http://dversepoets.com/2015/10/20/10958/

Midnight Moon
and there, beneath the silent moon
leaves rustle under the feet
of silent folk who rise from the earth –
drifts of fog and smoke
blown hither and yon
by an errant breeze.
They pass around us
and through us and we feel the chill
and taste the tears of sorrows
still alive.
Will midnight never come?
Will the moon never hide behind the clouds
casting into deeper darkness
the hearts of those who will not sleep?
I wait…
and still
I wait.
Midnight comes slowly…
Will midnight never come?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

My cat, Sam, a pumpkin and vanilla sweet terror, sent me a card for Halloween. Here is in on one of his favorite places:  the warm ironing board right after the work is done!   I forward it to you all. I also want to thank you all for your “likes”, comments, visits. I am appreciative of your kindness. I was one scared little kitty starting out but you all have blessed me in many ways with your comments and the sharing of your own blogs.

Sandy went by with minimal damage. Let us all pray for those weren’t so blessed and do what we can to help. Those of you who had damage, please check first to be sure any contractors, etc. are licensed properly. Check with your local licensing agency and beware of storm work scams. I hope things will be back to normal as soon as possible.
