Nearly Halloween,
time to see the unseen:
alligators in the milkweed,
cell bars in the pavement,
and everything spooky In-Between.

Notes: I have the flu (high fever, aches & pains, shaky hands, aching belly) so this post is a last-minute, middle-of-the-night, coughing-too-hard-to-sleep fever dream. Happy Spooky Poetry Friday! Thanks to Kay McGriff at A Journey Through The Pages for hosting this week’s roundup!

It’s that time of year, isn’t it? Sniffles, coughs and splutters all round. But at least it gives us something to complain about!

Oh, no! I’m so sorry you’ve been sick. Your photo and poem are nice and spooky though–no doubt aided by late night fever issues! I love the phrase “time to see the unseen.” Take care of yourself and get well soon!
