My spooky little Halloween Poem by Moonlight has been picked up by the fabulous Blue Hour Magazine to be part of their latest print anthology. It really is a beauty, with so much fine poetry, prose, and artwork to explore. Please consider buying one, and have a spooky Halloween!
A Halloween Poem by Moonlight
I want my poems
to disturb you
creep up sideways
and unnerve you
sidle into your
peripheral vision
and slither in through
your too thin skin.
I want my poems
to observe you
coolly through
their slitted eyes —
and when you’ve had
enough of them
I’ll call them home
to me again.

“sidle into your

Reminds me a little of a scene from a recent web series picked up by ABC iview, where a thorn covered vine like plant captures, invades rapidly, creeping up through the body just beneath the skin, to kill and then consumes in time.
Always cool when poems can awake other experiences, lived, watched, or listened to from time’s passing.

That does sound creepy! Hope my poems don’t do that! 😉 Thanks for your always fascinating comments, Sean.

A delightful poetic path Michele, seemingly generous but reverse engineered (poems as boomerangs?). Congratulations on your publication.
