Sing
Sing to your soul
Demur and definite
Like a child lullabyed
To the land of slumber
In time there will be
A call and response
Like a concert
Well engrossed
Sing your chorus
Over and over again
Until you get to the end
Sing !

Having haloweened the moon
He pumpkin-headed out of town
Wanting to ghost those friends
Who thought him stupid enough
To witchify the lawn
Planted by the new neighbours
So there he was at a strange bar
Treating himself
To beer after beer after beer

[about this image: i edited an AI generated image using Picsart to include character of the emporer]
His Pen Unsheathed
Begging not a pardon
Poet's pen scribbles
Merrily merrily to conjour
Pumpkins under Hunter moon
Pompous emporers
Stark naked before
A crowd too astonised
To snicker at him or themselves
Who unsheats his pen
To slaughter like an abbatoir
Those dared to slander
The good of a people
Meditate to godhead
Tis poetry's pen
Not that of the poet
Penned and done

Hunter's Moon
In the midst of climate change, these incredibly hot days, in the past, October was the cooling down time, a time inspired calypsonian sang about Christmas breezes blow, meaning the cooling nights of October.
But, not so now, its cool only if your AC is on. And, there is no letting up for hot days and cool nights. The equation is now hot days plus hot nights
an October night
watching for the Hunter's moon -
surely it will come

With Orange Crayons
What is the colour of sunlight
Bright as the glare of a lit place
Under azure sky filled of clouds
White as sheep's wool shaved
Who is so clumsy as to
Drain all the raindrops from
Each cumulus puff leaving them
Dry as bone in a boneyard
When will the golden sun bow
To a smiling cool day like a
Newworld springtime where
Every form of green greets the eye
Yellow alert says the weather woman
Remember to hydrate
Keep your waterbottles close
And your sweat bands intact
Is hell a freezing place
Where ice cubes are sovereign currency
Where ghost and goblins tremble so hard
They rise to earthly realm
Haloween draws near
With orange crayons
Just for the fun of it
Jack o lanterns grin

Tears are Rain
Been crying for such a long time
The rain feels so normal
Been rained on for such a long time
The rain-soaked hat i wear failed
It cannot do its job in this haunting
It cannot stop the rain from raining
Getting my thoughts wet wet soaked
Eyes downward followed raindrops
Raindrops from my hat to my path
Its all so strange being wet
Feeling cold in any weather rain
Yet not understanding why
Why does it have to be raining
It feels like all the time everywhere
It feels like unceasing neverending
It feels like torture, torment
Why should the rain be falling
Pools with rainbow form behind me
I cannot look back or else
The rain will never cease
But looking forward walking ahead
There is hope of a ceasing
A change from the haunting season
A smile to emerge
Lighting up the day
Ah but these showers
This downward pitter patter
A sound nevermore nevermore to stop
A strumming a rhythm
Song of the heart piercing
A weathered soul

[AI background]
The Reality
So very clear i dare say
I do remember that day
Gun toteing men
Wearing fatigues
Crawling about on the TV screen
Just like in a movie scene
Only
That was the reality
Not one bit surprising
Until
The announcement of
A coup d'etat
