Monday WRites 265


[photos from my archive again today, art - a crop from a larger painting using poster paints ]

You look and look and finally she is ripe like an orange ready for juicing.The moon full in the night sky waiting for the shadows of witches brooms to ride
While low down below goblins stalk the night rapping on doorknobs shiny in  the light of pumpkins and garish smiles

a shower of sweets
a half full sack greedy to
 knock on other doors

    I love the image of the moon ‘ripe like an orange ready for juicing’. You are already anticipating Halloween, Gillena – I can’t imagine how that will be in this year of Covid.
