I was watching a series and someone said “I’ve got your six”. I’ve heard it a hundred times probably, know what it means, but not where it originated. So being the curious person I am, looked it up and found some I didn’t know the “start” of them. Here are some:

Watching from towers
Looking down on the “lowly”
The mighty may fall
Forgetting sufferers low
Holding them up is their strength

2020 WEEKLY #TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 200, #THEMEPROMPT

After a long time of worry
My vision is clear
The doubts, the negativity has lost my fear
I now look ahead, see my future renewed
The sun is rising and positive thoughts reconstrued.

They call him a monster, an insatiable knave
He circles cemeteries for the bodies he craves
His vision is often misconstrued
Some think him an angel to be pursued
His vapor is sickenly sweet
He wraps himself around a victim’s feet
And then so smoothly they think they are saved
Suddenly takes them to join in his grave
By the time he is done with his vicious eating
The mourners are also his meal, completed
If you’re near a tombstone on All Hallows’ eve
Be cautious and don’t believe what you see
This monster disguised is waiting for you
To add flavor and spice to his ghoulish stew.

“We were just walking along, you know, me and Joe, when we saw these weird rocks. The stones were strange lookin’, but there’s more to the story.
Now, we were in the woods, right? You know what I mean, OUT there, like no one is around but us, right? We stepped up closer to these weirdo rocks and saw–you’re not gonna believe me, but, hey, it’s the truth!
Right in front of the two rocks were two sets of shoes, one, a man’s dress shoes, the other, a lady’s high heels! Don’t believe me? If I’m lyin’, I’m dyin’!”

The modern version of tea for two
A special meeting of the few
Who celebrate the “me and you”
The lucky ones who fell in love
With each other and thereof
Spending time holding hands
Insuring that their gold bands
Never rust or grow tired
But keep a love to be admired.

I said to him, did you see that?
I think it looks like a bat!
I grabbed my hat to cover my wig
And ran around like dancing a jig
Screaming, get it, please!
Then sat cowering on my knees.
My ever faithful husband true
Yelled back, what’s the matter with you?
I’ll get the broom, stop your chatter
This is no frightful matter
He opened the door and yelled shoo!
I stood back up and sighed a whew
The bat flew out, he proudly said,
I took off my nightcap, went back to bed.

Some say it’s magic, a special veil lifted between midnight, October 30th till midnight, October 31–a holiday of sorts with childhood memories of special treats given by friendly neighbors.
In some cultures this week is a time when ancestors rise from their crypts to utilize the camouflage of costumes in the street to visit friends and relatives imparting personal messages which may or may not be well received.
In either case, it would be wise to shutter the windows, batten the hatches, lock the doors, especially to attics and basements, light a peaceful candle or two and keep the fire logs burning. This is the year of odd happenings and you never know what horror is coming next.
