HALLOWEEN....Day Sixteen

 

Short read today after longer ones past few days. 

Today the daily Fall/Halloween word is CAULDRON(S). 

This was an interesting word as the challenge was an acrostic.  I took the character from one of my Clarisse stories as the stew maker. I used the idea the character in the piece making stew for a party.  It was a fun piece to create.  I had a few minutes to see an image in my mind. Different scenarios went through my head; then had twenty minutes to come up with the acrostic. I was back and forth on the first line but decided I liked the beginning as explaining what was happening.  

The stew doesn’t sound bad but I’d replace beef for rabbit.  

Yesterday was the middle of the month or actually bus it today as there are thirty-one days?  I did my yearly candy corn tribute to my grandmother, aunt and uncle.  It did bring tears to my eyes as I thought about them all.  

It’s Friday today so wear your red.  

Until tomorrow....have a great day and as always Stay Safe.

Counterclockwise she stirs the cast iron 

          pot

As her black cat and raven sit close by 

         watching 

Under a starry full moon sky she steadily  

       works 

Laughing loudly she puts in yet another 

         component 

Darcella creates her special witches stew 

     for the Ghouls Gala

Rabbit, potatoes, carrots, onion and 

     parsnips just a few ingredients 

Over a wood fire of oak sits the antiquated 

       cauldron 

Needing a bit more spice Tabasco 

     sauce and horseradish added 

Scents of the stew filters through the         

     air on the night of Halloween
