Pumpkin Party

HALLOWEEN! It's spooky, it's scary and it comes with a hell of a lot of sweets! I love Halloween, with it probably being my favourite holiday very very closely followed by Christmas. I just adore all the scary films, the decorations, the costumes -basically it's utterly perfect in my eyes. So I have to do something to celebrate it!

Epiphany Piece

Bit of a personal one today but I was really proud of it so thought I would share. In my creative writing class we were told to write an epiphany piece -any epiphany we wanted, the only rule being that we couldn't outright say what it was. This is what I created:


There's no beeping. The rhythm has stopped. Halted and silenced like the world itself. All the people around me stand frozen in time, wishing they could just rewind to a better moment. A happy one. I look at everyone's faces carefully, I see new lines around their eyes, new creases around their mouths. Salty trails trace the remnants of running tears, however now everyone's eyes are dry. I didn't think it was possible to run out of tears, but you can. My eyes sting and I know they must be red and sore. There's something caught in my throat but I don't know what it is, it makes me want to be sick and cry out in discomfort at the same time... but I just stay still and silent.

Let us go

Together, watching as sunbeams rise,
Gentle clouds waltz through morning skies,
Birds sing cheery songs of love,
Ducking and diving in the great above,
You hold us tight,
Showing us off in the warm golden light,
We're here for you, oh,
Don't let us go.

We stand together through pouring rain,
Watching as it spirals from the sky and dives to the drain,
Shutting your eyes, holding your head low,
You know,
Soon, you'll have to let us go.
