An
Untouched
Trail of leaves
Unsullied, fresh
Mask slippery mud
Newly formed after rain
***
We trudge along happily
Autumn colours brightening our
Lives as Ruby and I walk along
Kicking up red and gold leaves as we go.

Autumn
Plip
Plop plip
Rain drops drip
Around my ears
Autumn Annie me
Frost around my fingers
Moonlight shimmers on my toes
Sweet smelling Autumn rain glitters
Giving rusty golden leaves a shine.
My season, now, beautiful Autumn tide.

This month Kat Myrman is writing a Cinqku a day. I read her first two on loved them so I am going to try one now.
“A cinqku must always have 5 lines and a perfect seventeen-syllable count. The lines typically follow a 2,3,4,6,2 format. There is no title requirement on the second line. As for syntax and diction styles, it follows the free Tanka style originally. There are no metric requirements for a cinqku poem. Additionally, the final line must contain a cinquain or kireji turn for emphasis.
Leaves fall
Days grow short
Food is gathered
The nights grow longer
Ready for renewal
Harvest.

Autumn in the air.
There are blackberries in the hedgerow
And a chill is in the morning air
The red berries are starting to show
Seems Summer’s left without a care.
Conkers in their protective green spiky coats.
Laying expectantly on the ground
The days are getting shorter
And leaves are falling all around
Autumn is a coming I feel it on the air
Summer’s preparing to fold up her deck chair.

Cold
And dark
November
Has now arrived
Nights rent assunder
Loud, bright pyrotechnics
Days short of light, nights coal black
North winds, morning frosts, leaves flying
We watch the old year slowly dieing
Time’s fast passage whips us on to winter.

Here we are at the unholy month of October. I thought I would do a paranormal, witchy, unholy bunch of poems, some new and some old.
Don’t forget to check out Jane Dougherty and Kat Myrman‘s plans for this month!
Today’s poem is all about All Souls Eve.
Rose red snow white
These are the colours of all souls night
Bones being grounded spells being bounded
These are the sounds of all souls night.
Spiders weaving, cauldrons sieving
This is what happens on all souls night
Graves giving up their dead Vampire out to be fed
This is what happens on all souls night.
Witches out dancing, Zombies a prancing
These are the dances for all souls night.
People out screaming nightmares replace dreaming.
These are the symptoms of all souls night.
So beware of rose red lips and snow white skin.
That is where the trouble will begin.

Today’s poems are about an Autumn walk, one in the morning one at night.
Autumn Morning.
Cold, frosty morning
There is something in the air
I cannot see it but I know it’s there.
Dead leaves crunch under foot
There is no one else around
Something’s in the bushes making a strange sound.
Oh! It’s just a bird it gave me a fright.
Away it goes on its morning flight.
————
Autumn Nights
Cold and damp and dark
Things are moving making the dogs bark.
There’s noises all around me
Something touches my neck something I can’t see.
Bodies in the graveyard are restless to be free.
I feel like the hounds of hell are nipping at my heels
Bad things are moving about
Scary is how it feels.

This is my entry for Colleen Chesebro of The Fairy Whisper‘s blog Tuesday Tanka Challenge. I have written an Autumnal Cinquain and a Halloween Etheree.
Leaves fall
Softly, silent
Like phantoms in the mist
The del’s full of the spirit of
Autumn.
———–
Dense
The mist
Hallowed ground
Long dead spirits
Wake to move around
None have a beating heart
Nor a conscience to be found
All lost souls their bodies are void
Endless chill invades their empty souls
Their time is now Autmn and Halloween.

Today’s poem another Etheree
She Devil
She
Alone
Lays waste worlds
Beauty is her’s
Yet only skin deep
Her soul a black void
She owns no humanity
Evil spawn of Satan is she
No, never show her any pity
There’s no hope she’s doomed for eternity
