Black Cat

There is a black cat there

Crossing over peoples lawns

Preparing to scare

Better watch out or you will be in the air

So don’t go over there by the cat

Hero Inside

Jim Hinchey

I have a hero that’s not hard to find

He’s always here, right in my mind

But if you and I search for him, we won’t be able to see

My hero is standing inside, my hero is me

He doesn’t wear a cape, tights or spandex

He wears nothing silly you see

My hero wears my hopes, my dreams, my aspirations

And everything I want to be

I see him every night, right on cue in my dreams

He fly’s here and there showing me all sorts of things

So much is waiting, where do I begin?

Moving towards my dreams, bringing the hero from within

Powers or not, my hero’s all I got

Everything I want in every possible way

Continue to dream big and work hard

I’ll wake as him one day

October Memories

October has come

Pumpkin pie waters your mouth

Costumes of all kind

Door to door, searching

Bags are full of surprises

Candy at its best

Streets are filled with kids

Witches and ghosts here and there

                        Trick or treat and scare

The man in black

By: Ayden Kelly

It was a dark October night

The cats were out and sneaking

The girl ran down the street

She was running out of energy

A man in black was behind

She had to get home

She knew a shortcut,

She ran through the cemetery

As she ran her shoe became lost

Then she tripped

The man walked slowly toward her

She begged for him to let her go

“I finally got you!” he said

He held out a knife

Soon the knife had blood on it

The man turned and saw a boy watching

The boy looked horrified

He turned and ran

“NO!!” the man in black yelled!

How do you know what I go through, do you play with the shadows? Do you live your life in darkness? I have, because we have never truly lived, for I have never really been alive. I am what humans refer to as a demon, though, you humans, cannot begin to comprehend the amount of darkness that surrounds my soul. All humans are foolish; they fear what is unknown to them… and what is known to them, they fear not. These creatures cause themselves more pain than we demons ever have.  What humans should fear most is themselves. As we wonder this world, never truly belonging, we lost sight of the good things and good values in this world, leaving us with only a heart that is more dark and deadly than ever known to any other being.
