Selecting a broom for Halloween

Many shapes and styles I’ve seen

There’s only one of which I’m keen

Moldy wormwood in pea soup green.

I chose this because of the look on Ripley’s face. This was after my granddaughter adopted him from the local shelter. She is a senior in college and wanted a friend to live with her in her apartment. It’s difficult growing up with animals all around and then being on your own without them.

Only a brief encounter

An unexpected meet

Caused a symphony inside

Passed by in an instant

Caught my breath at the sight

A rhapsody in my vision.

A Halloween offering, be warned. 😈

So sweet her name was Sugar

As her friends first saw the show

White as snow they called her

But little did they know.

Her outside seemed extremely chaste

Only her parents realized

What lay hidden beneath the mask

Behind the smile she’d daily paste.

Greeting you face to face

What’s not to like they think

After getting to understand her

Saw the absence of her grace.

White as snow they called her

A blackened heart she hid

First encounters disappeared

Quickly as a birr.

I chose one of my favorite arias from Puccini’s opera, “Madame Butterfly”. So beautiful, breathtaking, in my opinion, and yet the words are very simple. Absence and presence of a love.

“Don’t worry, this won’t take long.” The detective checks the cuffs on her hands, and adjusts the probing light so it is squarely on her pale face. He was now ready to conduct the interview of the suspect.

She struggles and asks for the cuffs to be removed. “I didn’t do it!” Seeing she was not going to be believed, added, “it was self defense! He was going to kill me!”

“Sorry, they’re designed to keep us both safe.” He gives a side glance to his police companion and whispers, “if I had a dime for every person who thought their crime was justified, I’d be rich.”

Detective Jones knew any cop worth their salt would never let the criminal have the upper hand. Lieutenant James chimed in with, “Just the facts, ma’am, tell us how you killed him.”

Beautiful

Bright spirits rejoice

Nature always amazes

Silent celebrating butterflies

Vibrant blue upon the forest darkness.
