#october poems on Hello Poetry

Koda Mueller Oct 2024

Look and observe as the leaves turn orange and red
The chill in the air, a feeling that feels with me with excitement and dread
Halloween is finally here!
Time to celebrate with happiness….and fear
Decorate and fill your jack-o-lanterns with light
To stop monsters from coming to give you a fright

Stop and listen to the werewolves howling at the moon
They're coming my friends, they'll be here real soon
Watch as the vampires hunt throughout the night
Better be careful for they have got quite the bite
Look, there goes a witch and a black cat flying on a broom!
Do not anger her or you will bring about your doom
Make sure to watch out as the zombies rise from the head
Stay away from them for they'd love nothing more than to feast on your head
No need to fear the ghosts, no need to run away
All the ghosts want is for someone to play

Halloween is here, fear is in the air
Monsters excited to give humans a scare
Make sure to have your Halloween cheer…for if you don't, you'll be sad
Because the boogeyman himself will hunt you down and make you wish you had

I absolutely love Halloween and it is my all time favorite time of year so I decided to write a poem to get into the Halloween spirit

Come October

Come October they would rise again ,
steal through hidden doorways .
Putrescent then they take their form ,
in liminal space they have their birth .
☆
Every year they come for their meat ,
driven by some unknown clock.
In twenty-eight days they become manifest ,
their grey bony fingers unlock .
☆
A gallery of faded portraits ,
mark Octobers that have gone before ,
gaze longingly out of picture frames ,
behold the living on which they feed .
☆
It gets darker now once more I tell you ,
it shan't be very long ,
till October casts it's deadened pall ,
and then their sickly will be done .

under the oak

light pierces the leaves
under the oak, you with me
october ends us
they say nothing good can last
you, my love, have proven this

i have been trying my hand at tanka poems recently :)

Black October

The Paragliders like ravenous vultures flew
to southern Israel to predate on soft targets.
Like swarms of bees, they snuck, *****, maimed, shot, burnt and slew.
Terror did every man's fragile conscience becloud.
Hate made their embittered hearts to mercy forget.
Abductions followed, having to terror avowed.

Then came the IDF's genocidal intent,
having intended global laws to circumvent;
Children, women, all consumed by mighty vengeance.
A disproportionate response beyond balance.
Homes, hospitals, Mosques, Churches and schools are levelled,
as Gaza is by torrents of bombs bedeviled.
I do not with a livid Israel sympathize,
nor do I with a besieged Gaza empathize.
With humanity I have my affinity,
for my deep love for it, tends to infinity.

The raging Israeli-Gaza Conflict

rose tinted sunsets

the prison is
deep

her walls masked
in sewed flesh

there is only
a sliver of light

that comes from
the womb

awakening the
night

brewing many
storms into potent
thoughts

hide them
well

lest they pierce
through the skin

make a home
of murals

unwritten letters
to no one

that you keep
inside

let them return
to dusk

decay into
the rose tinted
sunsets

there are no
photographs
to remind you
of anything

nothing has
happened for
years.

To end this note about September

With a voice that fails me
I aim at the lines between your hope and my despair
With a needle, in an effort to achieve precision
To stitch our thoughts together
They’re so similar, so different
You think of October as a warm home
And I see it as a cold houseguest
And we co-exist in this oblivion
This circle of this or that
I admire your willingness to fill spaces
And you question my fear of being heard
You relish in the colours of fall
And I dread the looming winter
How is it that we left September
Hand-in-hand, wishing for rain...

but it does

it's funny how a simple word
will set me off,
how a small meaningless word
will tear me down...

but it does
and I hate it

it's funny how a simple gesture
will set me off,
how a small meaningless gesture
will tear me down...

but it does
and I hate it

it's so funny how a simple ******* thought
will bring me to the edge,
how a small ******* thought
will push me off the ledge

but it does
and I hate it

an old friend

here we meet again,
my dear old friend...
you always seem to visit me
while the world is sound asleep...
you are an uninvited guest
barging in with a simple request,
and to that I must say no,
I just simply can not go...
I've stated before,
and I'll say it just once more,
I am content without you
and I will never miss you,
yet here you are again,
my dear old friend Death
