The Squirrel and the Pumpkin

My sister Wendy Mitchell is a keen amateur wildlife photographer. As you know, I love to play with words. It is becoming a tradition for us to produce a calendar together every year, if and when we can. Last year's had a few problems but that aside, I hope you enjoy this little seasonal offering.

Wendy took the photo, I wrote the words. Enjoy x

Could there be a scarier scene,

To hail the month of Halloween?

Can there be any dastardly deeds

To match a squirrel, stealing seeds?

Or is it just, perhaps, preparing?

Nothing at all to do with scaring?

Could squirrel merely be stockpiling?

As for Pumpkin; well, it is smiling…

I write horror, dark fiction and dark fantasy as well as the occasional horror poem and some fun Silly Sunday Zombie (or horror) Limericks, known as SSiZLes!

I have lots of free reads on my website so if you want to get to know my writing, that’s a great way to start. Feel free to drop me a message if you call in. I would love to hear from you.
