Yes you are a spooky tree
but walking by don't worry me.
Those limbs like arms sway in the breeze
those spiney finger thingies tease
You might have mossy bows and branches that seem to creep in slimey advances 
but as the dusk starts to approach
walking by is not a joke.
Passes by look to the skies rather than look into knotty eyes
Ready to pounce on man or beast
and drag below on where you feast.
No wonder people won't pass alone
when you like to feed on blood and bone.
But I'm not scared I'm tough and strong
but it's getting dark so I move along.
Just one glance o'er shoulder to see
Is that the wind that touched or the spooky tree?


May 2017 St Peters Ave, Haslingden. Rossendale. 5 mins whilst the dogs rummaged.
