October Creeper

October Creeper

A Poem by Raven Starhawk

Fall’s elemental anonymities twirl in earthly tones

Purpose for celebration soon collapses season

As pessimism creeps upon catastrophe’s hand and forages death’s patience

It will come

Without caveat and yet caveat to some degree...

…it will come and pluck you out of this universe

Underlying dimensions swallow ignorance

While knowledge pollutes a damaged conscious

Perfect poem for October! Very dark, and scary feeling to it!

Dark moody piece this and unusually for me I really loved it. Especially the weight of the last line.

I love October..why? Because I get to read people like you! Well I can read you when ever I want, but it's up to writers like us to "set the mood" this month.

Underlying dimensions swallow ignorance
While knowledge pollutes a damaged conscious

Almost evil.....

Melancholy emotions come to mind, when autumn comes... you have a deliciously dark style of writing that I love! Not only are you a great storyteller, you are a master at writing beautifully cryptic pieces. Well penned!

Yes, it will....
I know all about,
And it's good, to face it
Your writes are marvelous each time
I come by, you're my favorite dark poetess!

Those words, are choosen carefully,
as they danse macabre...

Well done. This poem bring the creepiness and spook factor that belongs to October. The poem is haunting and yet pulls the reader in. Well done

Brilliantly penned. The last line is exquisite! I agree with Belinda that line is over the chart spot on. Loved it!

While knowledge pollutes a damaged conscious
That line. It could be by itself and it be beautiful. There is so much in that just one line. This poem was great, but that one line? genius.
