Golden Garden Spider
Irene Nissen
A golden garden spider
lives in a plant
by my pond,
a plant whose spreading spikes
each end in a profusion
of compact purple booms
that may have attracted her
to this place.		 spider web 3

The spider sits commandingly,
in the centre
of her silken orb,
the outer threads of which
seem held aloft
by the plant's "arms",
as if in subservient duty
to her sinister charms.

Trees
Irene Nissen
The trees stand like soldiers,
guarding the forest,
guarding the deer,
guarding the bear,
guarding all the animals
that dwell in there.


It's Halloween Eve
And it's my pet peeve
That people lock up
And don't stock up
To share in the spirit of the night.

Five
Leigh Allen
You are all invited on this enchanted evening to attend my costume ball.
There are demons, devils and evil spirits waiting in the hall.
No money is needed to be seated to join my masquerade.
You'll soon see all your dreams and wishes, are purely a charade.
Your currency will be worthless.
No fees, or coins, or tolls.

School Daze
Bernie Buchin
When you're sitting at school, and the subjects a bore,

You think of the summer, and the briny sea-shore,

With hands on your chin, you sadly exclaim,

That going to school is a waste and a shame.

Dreaming Boy
