THE WATCHERS


gingerbread house

A gingerbread house so quaint.
Disguised with colorful paint.
An evil group lives here.
And our town is so near.
They are Watchers for The Dead.
I’m afraid to go to bed.
Come and take a quick look.
Or you can read my book.

FEEL THE HEAT


The music drums to the beat

of the sound of marching feet.

Crimson waves hit the shore,

seeking both rich and poor.

A red blanket covers the town

as The Dead descend with a frown.

I’M LOST IN HIS GAZE


His teeth glisten in the night.
Will I turn from him in fright?
I’m lost in his heated gaze.
He’s mine for the rest of my days.

DARK MAINE


Dark shadows descend

On a night that won’t end.

Lightning splits the sky,

Where birds refuse to fly.

Run before it is too late

before you meet your fate.

TRAPPED



Trapped in the mansion’s walls,

we struggle to break free.

Sighs echo through the halls,

but our plight no one can see.

WHO GOES THERE?


Source:oxxxxxb

Into the woods, I flee,

Yearning to be set free.

I don’t know which way to go.

I turn around, to and fro.

A light shines between the trees.

I peek between the thick leaves.

No one is on the path.

I can do simple math.

It’s them against me.

I’ll never be free.

MY LAST BOW


Source: aqua-regia009

Seek, and you shall find

what the mind may hide.

Follow the soft sighs

to where the bird flies.

Dig deeper into your dream

as you float with the stream.

Time will never end,

nor will it ever bend.

Enjoy the here and now

as I give my last bow.

HAIKU OF GOODBYE

galactic-castle

HAIKU OF GOODBYE

The galaxy shines,

In awe of the human race.

It makes my heart race.

I cannot see far,

But I know what is right here.

It’s not far from here.

Heaven covers us,

Protects above and below.

To it, I must go.

Goodbye to my friends.

Time comes to an abrupt end.

I shine for each friend.

ENJOY YOUR STAY


A party beneath the full moon.

I'm sure your host will be here soon.

Candles light the dark hallway.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay.

A FEW MORE STEPS



Icy cold.

My toes turn numb.

My fingers tingle.

The wind howls.

Sleep tempts me.

But I must continue.

A few more steps.

Silence wraps around me.

I raise my face to the sky.

The colors take my breath away.

REGRETS


Source:sj0

As I fade away,

I think of days gone by.

As I crumble to sand,

I remember the past.

As I shrivel to nothing,

I regret what I’ve done.

But most of all,

I regret what I haven’t.

PREY FOR THE DEAD


I’m over here.

I can smell your fear.

You won’t be alone.

I can hear your moan.

I’ll be rising soon

On the next full moon.

I’ll rise from down under

On lightning and thunder.

You will not recognize me.

I’ll be different, you see.

My new body is strong.

Now, do not get me wrong.

I still love you, my dear.

Of that, please have no fear.

THE WINDS MOAN


The winds moan.
The inn shakes.
Footsteps echo above us.
Have the police found the killer?
The house becomes quiet.
Nature stills as if holding its breath.
I stare at my shivering guests
before the lights go out.

Book Review-My Last Year-Susanne Leist


   Thank you for the awesome review on Miki’s Hope blog. 

Book Review-My Last Year-Susanne Leist

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 2023

Anyone who has or has had a beloved pet will be able to relate to this story of a dog’s last year. It was written by his Mom but spoken in his words. Animals seem to know when their time on this earth is coming to an end. They cling to their beloved Mom and Dad. You can see worry in their eyes–what will happen once I’m gone? They really try to keep up and do all that they used to do when younger–but can’t anymore. It is heartbreaking for both the pet and the owner.

I found myself with tears in my eyes-both for Nounous and his Mom–and remembering all my babies who have gone over the Rainbow bridge.

About the Book: (from Amazon)

Nounous is a fourteen-year-old Maltese dog who loves people but loves his mother most. As he takes his last steps, he reminisces on life and worries about leaving his Mommy alone.

His mother, Susanne Leist, is a paranormal suspense author and former financial analyst. When she isn’t writing her books, Susanne spends precious time with Nounous, her best friend and muse.

About the Author: (from Amazon)


Hi, I am an author of paranormal suspense. In my first series, The Dead Game Series, the dead walk the night & into the day, leading our heroines on a dangerous adventure from Florida to Quebec.

The Blue Harbor Series offers a new set of heroines who fight to save their town from an Indian curse. The first book, Meet Me In Maine, uncovers the perpetrator of the curse and the plight of the Penobscot culture at the hands of the white man.

Meet Me In Maine’s new edition contains two bonus chapters with Scarlett’s and Elizabeth’s stories, revealing why they chose to settle in Blue Harbor. I also have a special treat for you, My Last Year, written by my Maltese Nounous.

Please sit back, put up your feet, and let me bring mystery and romance to your lives.
