Many had traveled this path in the past. It was only recently that the dragon skull, suddenly unearthed from above and landed here, that it seemed unsafe to pass by. Why and how this event took place was not heard of in village legends, so it was decided to now take an alternate route to their homes.

Mysteries of moons and wolves,
Their behaviors,
Legends handed down for generations
If you choose to believe,
What adventures await you on a night like this?

A romantic lunch by the river
His intentions were clear
Without some wine to deliver
He’ll miss the best part I fear.

What category describes this feeling
Where does it lay in the book of love
I look upon you with sad eyes, knowing
It will not last,
It’s like trying to determine which direction a candle will quiver.
Once hot and burning, hard to capture, and fleeting in time

Dangerous lightning bolts weaponized
Floods of bodies swarming
Hard rain word threats pelted
Freezing sleets of disagreement
Earthquake divided ground
The climate changed dramatically
Warnings of new storms remain
Future weather reports still unclear.
Of course not everyone was grim. It was mostly the oldsters–those that started the union conventions over fifty years ago and stubbornly refused to accept any changes.
The new enlightened generation thought it was time to accept more variety in lamplighters and put ads in the local newspaper saying so. The ad explained that the Grimsters convention was originally organized by lamplighters who hated their job and started a union of sorts, thus the name, but times have changed. The inclusion of J.J.J.J. had set new standards.
Lamplighting was a timely tradition, often called “lanmiters”. The mispronunciation started in the days of John Jacob Jeremiah Jones who had a slight speech impediment.
It was no wonder, with his strict parents insisting on him saying his full name in front of anyone he met. His stutter remained throughout his lifetime but he was also known for getting every flame burning on the street lamps before dark.
We can all be thankful to J.J.J.J for his faithful service and the beginnings of a new era for lamp lighters.

My eyes are wide
My plea is real
I need your help
Do we have a deal?
I promise to use the box faithfully
Everytime, you can count on me
I won’t scratch at your chairs
Or ruin your sofa
I’ll lay with you and lick like a loofah
Give no kisses that smell like tuna
And at night I’ll prowl in the lunar
I won’t topple plants
Or laugh when you dance
I’ll be perfect you’ll see
If you let me be
Your constant companion
We’ll have lots of fun
If you adopt me, we’ll
be as one!

What seems to be the issue?
Was my meaning so obscure?
The joke is on you, my brother
Stop being such a boor.
