(Burrr… lap)

Icy grey dawn jog

Spandex and cotton too thin

Brrr! Another lap!

Burlap, flannel, straw–

Moon-draped scarecrows crucified,

Blood-stained maws sewn shut.

Scarecrows, jack-o-lanterns, and classic ghosts are my favorite! I love writing about them.

Scarecrows are one of the few things that actually give me the creeps. I read the story “Harold” from “Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark” when I was a kid and it still kills me to this day.

One more:

Wrap roots in burlap

Make sure soil is firm but moist

Plant tree, enjoy, live

**or alternate ending:

Plant tree, enjoy, prune!

It’s probably for the best. You can’t have your victims causing trouble.
