Nightmarish Lands

the spider weaved a tangled tale
of nightmarish lands where the moon is pale
and wicked grins that haunt the night
sharpened by the glow of the candle's light

Cacophony of Cawing Crows

One of my favorite Halloween icons is the Crow.
I am easily entertained observing a gathered group
as they engage in interesting conversation.
They are raucous, cunning, organized and mischievous...
admirable traits indeed. Though their black plumage,
deadly beaks, razor sharp talons and displeasing eating
habits befriends these birds to the dark side, I find them
to be delightful characters and a welcomed distraction
from my studio window.
