Halloween Poem Free Write

by Owl Willows

Though we grow older and fade

as the trees around us fall prey

to aging as the years slowly pass us by

Still we can enjoy the gray that autumn brings

In a cold cemetery somewhere,  lovers hold hands beneath

a cold gray sky while singed leaves fall from our

friends the trees

For one month, one night the haunting is ours

while children eat candy and adults intoxicate themselves

we can enjoy wandering around a dark graveyard

if we see a spirit or two of course we'll say hello

Skeletons usually hide in mausoleums

but tonight we can delight in the exhilaration of fright.

The Weather is Finally Changing (Poem by Owl Willows)

The Weather is Finally Changing 

The weather is finally changing
and my heart has long missed the autumnal
wind and rain
I met with it today after so long,
as it brushed through 
my hair to say hello
The wind cooled my quaking heart,
torrid after summer's hell
to take my hand and lead me into
a world of rain and willows
Long had this world seemed so far away
Yet as I passed beneath rain clouds
and into my favorite cemetery
the fiery trees remembered me.

It was the crows who sang their
old songs on stones from long ago
My heart they recalled
for even though my body had aged another year
my love never changed 
Even though someday I will fade like the sunset
turns to night
like summer into autumn
into winter

The weather is finally changing
bringing hope and days to make memories
so dear.
Each year is a gift, so never shed a tear.
