Halloween Poetry and the End of Fall Sunshine in the Pacific Northwest

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Looking for scary poems? I wanted to post at least a few spooky poems since, after all, I am a speculative poet, sometimes even a horror poet, so, here are three poems from Field Guide to the End of the World.
In honor of the new Blade Runner, here’s “Sentient or Replicant,” and in light of today’s political revelations, here’s “Introduction to Conspiracy Theories,” and one of my favorites from the book, “At the End of Time (Wish You Were Here).” Click on each poem to make it bigger.

And in case you missed it, let me direct your attention to Barrelhouse’s October blog spooky poetry feature. This one has three poems by me, but if you go to the archives on the right of the blog, you can read 30 days of spooky poetry! Thanks to Killian Czuba who curated this month’s work!

The Last Evidence of Sunshine in the Pacific Northwest

These pictures are evidence of the end of the sunshine in the spooky Pacific Northwest. I have scary and sincere pumpkin bogs (yes, those pumpkins are growing out of the bog,) Snoqualmie Falls at flood stage along with the made-famous by Twin Peaks Snoqualmie Lodge (which stands in for Great Northern Lodge), and various pictures of changing leaves and pumpkins. This week the high is supposed to be in the 40s and of course, rain, and the time change will make everything a bit gloomier. Oh well! At least I’ll have these sunshiney pictures!
