Comfort

Some feel it near the sea Or while sailing in it Some feel it camping in the woods Or simply walking through. Me? I feel the sensation When I am in my home Among familiar places and things That feeling is known as Comfort

Ghoulies…

Ghoulies… Ghosties… Demons of the night… Dear Lord, protect us! It’s Halloween here. Started giving candy at 5pm, and by 6:20 I had run out! Got dressed for the occasion as well… tried to go for a Shinobi butler kind of look… Did I pull it off? I hope so. Till next time, everyone!!

In the night

In the night Fears become real In the darkness Things echo In the dim Shadows frighten In the black Time crawls. In the dawn We wake And wonder; What were we afraid of?

Fears (+update)

Zombies and cannibals have their day, Demons and ghosts get their way. Monsters and myths Run away swift! Lest the night terrors get you, eh? I been struggling creatively this year.

After many days of rain and weeding, I have harvested 12 potatoes from my plot! Lost three to rot, and others didn’t grow in time. Gonna share some with my friend and my niece! So happy with what I have accomplished in my gardening. Hopefully I will have more next year. Till next time!!

Quick update (and apology)

I wanna start off by saying I’m sorry. I know there haven’t been many new poems or ANY stories for a long time.

Down the way faring waterfall
