Short reading today.
As I looked for clip art to use for my daily reminder of what day it is of Halloween Month, I came across a few of graveyards at night. Today’s word was GRAVEYARD/CEMETERY. As I began to compose I pictured an old cemetery I once saw years ago. It was at the church where I was married. The church is out in the country area, with an old cemetery next to it. In my mind I pictured how at the witching hour a graveyard comes alive when I began typing. I enjoyed composing this as it has a spooky feeling to it (or so I think).
With only eight days till Halloween it’s getting to the point I have not go an idea how to dress. Perhaps just go as myself as I generally do dress funky.
It’s Friday and today we wear our red shirts to support our troops to remember everyone deployed.
I have not celebrated any of the wacky holidays this week. I don’t recall any that interested me but today is National Boston Cream Pie Day, I may not find pie anyplace but perhaps I can find a Boston Cream donut as substitute.
Until tomorrow happy Friday and as always Stay Safe. I’ll be playing some of those Halloween songs later.

ALIVE EACH NIGHT

The midnight hour has come
And tonight a full moon shines down
casting eerie shadows on the ground
lighting the cemetery as it comes alive
From the leafless oak tree an owl hoots into
the night.....hoooo.....hoooo....hoooo
A black cat growls as it lurks between
broken headstones in the graveyard
Swarm of bats wildly fly from the old church
belfry
Tis the witching hour when spirits rise from
below the grave
For a few hours they come to life
dancing in the moonlit graveyard
roaming the earth
A raven perched on the mausoleum
watches the nightly activities
Statuesque it sits night after night
guarding the final resting place of those
who have passed on
and return to earth when the clock strikes
twelve
Once more they live until the rooster crows
at dawn
When the old boneyard falls to slumber
again
