Hmm. It has been a while.
While school has been sucking my blood quite a bit, part of the reason I was away was because I started writing a novella which I didn't want to post. Mainly because it is composed of things I've stolen from stuff that I have posted here, and you guys would recognise it immediately for the copy-and-paste job that it is.
Anyway, I am here for now at least - and while I am, I would like to extend my gratitude to Francis at the very excellent Caught in the Stream who included me in his list of seven favourite blogs. You should now go immediately and check out his site - which is full of rather brilliant art, poetry and fiction - unless you are him, in which case, cheers again Francis.
I do have a tiny bit of poetry to post, so here goes.
Halloween
These clouds wash out
October’s orange dregs;
there are fireworks tonight
and I am in love.
Let the silt of these autumn hours
block sadness from my heart.
May I always remember
when everything was good.

You're definitely deserving, and I'm glad I provoked a new post from you :). I like the poem very much ... and I could use some of that silt.
Welcome back fine Fiendish!

Thanks, you guys. Glad to be back, temporarily anyway :)
Forgot to say how much I like 'October's orange dregs'. We've gone for full glow in the dark spider webs this year!

Stay a while, we're toasting marshmallows and telling ghost-poems later on. :)
Nice poem, reminds me of Justin Hayward from so many moons ago.
"Through Autumn's Golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those Autumn leaves lie undisturbed now.
Now you're not here."
Ahh memories... and leaves. :)
Yes, welcome back. We've missed you. Not a good reason for going AWOL, though.Nothing wrong with cut and paste if it's your own stuff you're cutting and pasting. Still, I do understand, have felt something like it myself before now.
Loved the poem, by the way.
Welcome back, school could be very demanding at times. Relax for a while and write your stories.
Great, short poem.
It speaks of the thoughts in you and do I understand it correclty, you're in love? lol
Cheers.
Thanks again for the replies. Feels like I never left.
And Dave: You know, I might be inspired to post some of that cut-and-paste job after all. Watch this space. ;)
Welcome back, and there are some very fine lines indeed in that poem.
