Halloween over, I’m not sad about it
This whole year has been a thriller
Election suspense? I doubt it.
Sadly, protests, violence have been the norm
Peaceful gatherers revved up to cause a storm
November fourth, please hurry to change this form.

No surprising in this scene
Ominous not an option
What you see is what you get
As the street is clearly seen
No conjecture of what will happen next
Take pictures of this pleasantness, send it in a text
The beauty seen in this portraiture
Is simple, yet refined
Lovely flowers sitting in a pot
On a clean street is divine.

Spectacle observed
A miracle in making
A star being born
***
Preying on your weakness
Betrayal he imparts
Promising forever, playing with your heart
Keeping talents hidden as in a game of darts
He hits the bullseye once, you can’t believe the feel
And while your heart is healing
He starts tightening the reel
You flounder in the wake
While slowly being pulled back in
Almost unbelieving when he leaves you once again
A dream of love’s a fine thing, but can cut as sharp as scissors
Avoid being fooled by only smoke and mirrors.

I don’t think she looked ghoulish
But certainly foolish
Those eyes were outlandish
And really standoutish
A looker in her day, was never blandish
Intimidatingly scary when she would brandish
Those wire hangers🤯😱🙀
Ghoulish – Word of the Day Challenge

Interpretations of the written word often vary. I am quick to write and then wonder if what I was thinking, the image my mind created, was actually interpreted the way I meant it. Being an impatient person in general, I quickly make comments and then think, why did I send that? Do they know I’m kidding, being sarcastic, having a weird day and accept it as such? Most of my followers probably know me well and accept it, but sometimes a post hits me sideways and I say something that I know the reason for, but they are clueless. It’s not their fault, it’s mine.
A short post long because posts that are sincere make me think, and shadows of my life, memories I keep in the background, will jump into the light, as I react to someone’s writing. Crazy? Probably, but I am an emotional person, still. My rants prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt…sorry, I had to try humor at some point. With all that’s going on, I have to laugh through tears sometimes. The world has a lot of nightmares now and accepting we have little control over the day to day doesn’t stay in the shadows.

Histrionics, hmmm, I wonder who qualifies for this, in actions and words, many words, endlessly repeated, mispronounced, yelled, written with hate, spewed with prejudice multiple times on popular social media sites? I really must research this question to satisfy my lack of knowledge. Shall I ask on Twitter?

Almost nothing? 😡🤬🤯
This is where the whole Trump clan belongs, in the trash.

⚠️I’m probably not done ranting yet.⚠️
No need for a trick, we’ve had plenty this year
The treats however would make us leer
At videos of violence, murder and sadness
And the sight of Trump’s hand in each deal of badness
I hardly recognize this great nation
I need Switzerland for a vacation
I wonder what else is up his sleeve
To win the election with his sleaze
Old RBG must be restless these days
While the kangaroo court prepares reversing her ways
The old saying, this too shall pass
Whoever said that is a horses a—
The scariest ghoul in the land
Lives at the Whitehouse with his band.

I want the whole experience, the hunter told the scouts
I want to see him up real close and see him run full out
The scouts replied that’s dangerous, you surely aren’t that, uh, brave? Then looking at each other thinking this guy’s crazed!
The mighty hunter stood his ground hoping to see the cat
He got his wish, plus a hospital visit to bat!
If you think having pretty wildlife “in your hands” might be a treat
My advice is don’t, you won’t be light enough on your feet.
