140 characters for Halloween

Darkly shadowed

Starkly drawn

Partly hallowed

Harken, dawn is

storming winter’s

Broken thorn of

Mourning

Shorn of

Sleeping

Keeping

Secrets

Shadowed

Torn

Salute

Torn and tattered
Worn and battered
Broken shattered
Dreams of thee

Once defending
Those whose bending
Knees were wending
Paths to thee

Once so certain
This bright curtain
Couldn’t hurt them
Once so free

Now betrayed
That freedom slayed
The price of braver-y
Shall be

Torn and tattered
Worn and battered
Broken shattered
Dreams of thee.

Did you tweet?

Shout in an empty
Room and a tree
Falls in a forest
No one to see it.
Nobody hears
Papermill dreams
Silently screamed
So fearfully laid
On the page.

If you tweet

Nobody’s looking. Nobody’s there.
Nobody’s watching. Nobody cares.
Nobody’s commenting. Nobody shares.
Facebook forgotten, tweet empty despair.
