Bleak cold grey headstones
Fresh light of dawn breaks on them
One grave is empty

Fresh light of dawn breaks on them
One grave is empty

Fear Filled Fridays (8/10/2018): A Tale of Silver Bullets
Deadly shape shifter
I hear your howls at the moon
Tonight it all ends
†
I fear no silver
You cannot defeat me now
In my beastly form
†
Claws slash, rip, tear flesh
Hunter and creature battle
A gun blast echoes
†
A month of days pass
Fever, chills, tormented soul
Full moon on the rise

Haiku – Mom – The True Rock Star
Robbed these two from myself. Not a lot of time to write something for mom this year, but I didn’t want to let the day go by without giving all moms a nod. I’m a stay at home dad and I see first hand how awesome moms are. They are true rock stars. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there.

Love, safety, comfort
In the caring arms of mom
All you ever need

How to describe a mom,
well,
it may be too hard to do,
without leaving out,
too many things,
that are true.
For a mom is a blessing,
a true gift from God,
her patience and virtue,
is something,
you could never prod?
