Goblins be Wan’drin

2 nonets, borrowing their first lines from Merwin.

Goblins be Wan’drin

…goblins, witches, and ghosts are very active in the Northern Hemisphere throughout all of Autumn, the season of the dying of the light — so beware…

  • NEW VERSION

    • broken shadows across the cracked ground
    trees — gold, orange, crimson, brown
    leaves down, lay mottled ‘n crisp
    rustle’n crunch, winds brisk
    goblins’ be wan’drin
    witches in flight
    ghosts rise’n
    autumn
    night
    *

  • ORIGINAL VERSION

    • broken shadows across the cracked ground
    trees turn — gold, orange, and crimson
    leaves down, lay mottled ‘n crisp
    rustle, crunch under foot
    goblins’ be wan’drin
    witches in flight
    ghosts arise
    autumn
    nods
    *
