OCTOBER 2024 -- Beware, My Friend

 BEWARE MY FRIEND

If you set out on a moonlit night

Intent on crossing the haunted woods

You best beware, yes, beware, my friend

The forest ghosts are out in force

Floating down the paths

Gliding twixt the trees

Springing out from behind the bushes

With spine-shivering shrieks

Echoed by gruesome groans

You’ll be surrounded in a flash

And then, my friend, comes the fright

The night will fill with screams

For it seems these ghosts have never seen

A sight as bloodcurdling as your visage!

SEPTEMBER 20204 -- Last Leaf

 

© LJR 2024

LAST LEAF

Do you ever feel like that last leaf

Afraid to let go the familiar

Worried you will free fall

With no net or parachute . . .

Something, anything to catch you

To put your fears to rest

And help you see this change

In spite of any bumps and pain

Is setting your life on course

To be right where you belong
