Words by Nile Stanley Words I like to say them like jitterbug, fudge, and tangerine. Words I like to play them like hacky sacks, catching and bouncing them off my tongue. Words I like to weigh them like bittersweet and jumbo shrimp. Words Most of all I like to devour them slowly, savoring each sound!
Weather by Anonymous Whether the weather be fine, Or whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, Or whether the weather be hot, We'll weather the weather Whatever the weather, Whether we like it or not.
APPEARANCES TO THE CONTRARY by Sara Holbrook http://www.saraholbrook.com/ I gripped my fists And ran in place, stuck out my tongue and squinched my face. Made boo-boo lip and slammed the door, crossed my arms and stomped the floor. You tried to talk, I ran and hid. Why do you treat me like a kid? "Appearances to the Contrary" from Wham!

October 31 by Karen Alexander Ogres and ghosts fly across the night Cats dressed in black, spring into sight Toothless witches waltz across the moon. Owls atop fence posts hoot WHO? WHO? Beasts and beauties beat upon doors Echoes of "Trick or Treat" soar to a roar Rest in peace! Halloween's over! (and consequently so is October!)
