I’ve been watching murder mysteries!  (I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous autumn weather.)  Only Murders in the Building. (on Hulu) Yes! I would recommend.

Sorry Wrong Number

Murder and intrigue.  Perfect for a rainy autumn night. Yes! I recommend.

The Blue Hour / flash fiction

Somewhere between night and day is The Blue Hour. Take a walk through an abandoned house. Find a face watching those inside through a snowy window. Mourners become obsessed. People change forms. Ghosts and shadows rule!

Available (Kindle and in paperback) on Amazon!

  Halloween is coming! 🎃🧡🎃

Monsters

when all the daylight

leaves the sky

you and I

walk darkness by

our fingers touch

dry as bone

just two monsters

moonlight stroll

then something flies past

in the air

something tangles

in my hair

I lose an ear

and you a toe

maybe just a hungry crow

but no

a witch

and just her notion

steals our parts

to make a potion

you

lie 

awake

and find

a memory

repeating

notes played

music

fragrant

as the autumn

moon

in the morning

your eyes

melt

into me

like 

the sun

 A House of Unknown

At the end of the street

was a house of unknown;

no one lived there for years,

the trees overgrown.

There was no electricity

and no earthly strong gas,

and no one reported

the shadowy grass.

A house of gray skies

most neighbors ignored;

a house of great secrets

where keepers were stored.

Until one night

in the month of October

the sky lit up green,

and the house sparked and flared

from a window above

a wicked witch stared.

The children all trembled

would her trick be a spell?

Would they turn into toads?

No one could tell.

But on Halloween night

on her porch in the gloom

she passed out some sweets,

and they rode on her broom!

Autumn came to town! 🧡

Watching

 

watching

you in morning

fading..

light ripples

into sound

beyond

you have never

made me wonder

about

your heart

your ocean of 

madness

the sound

is iridescent

September

September came and left so quickly.  But this apple tree is still etched in my heart!

Perfection..

The Wind

I’m sorry I’ve been away!  

Autumn has arrived and the trees are are changing color. I hope you are staying healthy and are enjoying the season.

I’ve had a chance to watch a few films, and if you like silent movies you just might like The Wind (1928) with Lillian Gish, Lars Hanson, and Montagu Love.

Yes, I would recommend!
