ONE FROM HERE AND ONE FROM THERE

ONE FROM HERE AND ONE FROM THERE

I now begin to plot the death

Of one I've always known...

In pleasantries of mist and time,

The plans are slowly grown.

The childhood thoughts are dressed in dark

Throughout each silent room,

And hover close like white on rice

As they begin to groom.

Take one from here and one from there

Like puzzle pieces strewn,

And knit together stem to stern

The devils' smoking broom.

Since time began it's always been

The same old story plot.

And though the ending isn't planned,

It's surely worth a shot!

I hope this isn't about you!! But a haunting piece nevertheless, and love the words "Devil's smoking gun" this must be a ghostly story, eerie. like Halloween... love the words and the rhyme.... put together so well; you really have talent!!!

An eerie, brooding poetic piece, Sharon! Perfectly aligned with thoughts of Halloween! Also a hint of voodoo here! I can picture someone in a dark room sticking pins in an effigy... I hope it's not an effigy of me! lol! A fine write!

Do piano teachers do these things??

I agree with John...and feel you have woven a perfect quilt for Halloween...
the poem is a treat...
we can't plan endings, our own...but we can try to be ready for anything.
Youth eludes sooner rather than later.

Suddenly I find myself being grateful I am no longer in contact with the friends of my youth. Very good rhyme and meter here.
