Monsters in the Moss

monsters in the moss
creatures lurking in the grass
silken hideaways
imagination run wild
dreams to pass the time of day

I love the variety of colors, textures, and plants in this corner of the woods. Looking at the image later, I saw what appeared to be two creatures on the left-hand side. Let me know if you see them or what creatures your imagination conjures up! And while I was writing this poem I remembered the 60’s classic song by Bobby Pickett called the Monster Mash. Enjoy!
May your week be full of creative fun!

I love the image and poem. I see the little creatures…and I can’t make out what they are so I am going to say that they are wood fairies…….not monsters…but fairies. I remember The Monster Mash very well….thank you for taking me back in time.
When I was a child I used to make miniature garden in all sorts of containers….and would use moss from the woods that then surrounded our house. Maybe I should do that again this summer. Thank you Brad. janet 🙂

Ha, ha. I’m down for fairies too Janet. I often associate moss with fairies but I had monsters (friendly) on the brain! I love those miniature container gardens too. Maybe I’ll make one too. Thanks for playing along with me and the monsters. 🙂

Monster Mash was a fave of my boys the entire month of October when they were little. We’d sing it in funny voices on the way to school. Happy memories . . .
