Blogging in Late October - with audio

audio link

It came upon me one rainy afternoon,
After the wind had died and the Fog rolled in
The rushing silence deafened me.

What the hell was Blogging anyway
With its Halloween colored B,
Smiling at me like a Jack O Lantern

I shuddered to think on it
But sure as endless October thoughts
Pounding at rocky beachhead shores

So it came, ghostlike, the Blog,
In the mindful mist like a distant hound
Howling out wandering news about the scent

Then a hand reached out from within the dark
And clicked the browser's button
Like a brewing witch with mouse in hand

A shower of black letters fell against the screen
Bleached deathly pale and bony white
X-rays shot flying pitch, as if from some black hole

And as I read on, beyond the late afternoon's twighlight
My mind was once again numbed with night
Something deeper now writes here

Outside, the rustling of the wayward leaves
Static's blue, red, green fractured aurora stream
Glowing eerily on the yard where little gobblins are seen

At the door a knock is heard, and then a creaking sound
Suddenly, the door swings open, with a blood chilling scream
TRICK OR TREAT! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
