The Farmer, the Tortoise, and the Dog
Sometime in the distant past, there was a starvation in the place that is known for the creatures in light of the fact that the dry season had expanded more than expected. There was no downpour in the land and each creature was looking rather slim and unfortunate on the grounds that extremely restricted food was accessible. Nonetheless, the turtle saw that his companion, the canine was looking extremely new and sound. He considered what the mystery of the canine's prosperity was and settled to find out.

Allhallows Eve
My entry into 'The Spooky Season Challenge' by Sheree Crawford - a VSS community challenge. Leaves crunch underfootAs shoes dash from door to doorNervous excitement fills the airBuckets filled with sweets galoreA crisp chill weighs heavy in the airAutumn's in full swingAs Halloween entices children And all the excitement it will bringJump scares catch them in their rushTo reach the next home participatingIn their costumes and their make-upGhosts and goblins they are fakingA night full of the macabreCelebrated in the streetsChildren dressed as monstersTo be encouraged on by sweetsTo participate you must embraceThe sinister and the scary The late-night campfire storiesThat leave you feeling waryThe only night when children seekThe dark and the obsceneFake bloodied bones and entrailsThe grotesque and the uncleanIt's all done in good spiritsOn the sacred Allhallows EveWhilst neighbours in competitionPull tricks out from up their sleevesThe atmosphere is rife with joy As children race along with tired feetParents trail along behind them Hoping tonight they'll surely sleepAs memories are slowly etchedInto their souls foreverFor when they were young and innocentThey went hunting ghouls together.

Yawning, I gazed from window pane As dawn sun began it’s daily reign. Cat stumbled out yon barn Whence perhaps chased a ball of yarn.

IT'S COLD IN HERE
Are you freezing? Here in the igloo. Where it is freezing. In the igloo. I’d like to leave this place, Go somewhere with a slower pace.

Fictional Poetry
In a world so vast, with wonders untold, An alien arrives, in search of a mold. A creature unknown, from faraway skies, Eager to learn, with curious eyes.
