Written for Day 4 of Sammi’s “13 Days
of Samhain Challenge’ with prompt words
“perilously” and “peculiar”. Also for
Esther’s Writing Prompt word ‘catch’.
Song lyrics created by Me with music by Suno
The crescent moon grins
as bones jig perilously
on Samhain’s thin veil.
A goblin howls the tempo,
as peculiar partners twirl ….
pray their cold hands don’t catch you!

Nancy’s Notes: You read it here first! AI really doesn’t know everything. In the song, Suno mispronounced Samhain!
More Nancy’s Notes: A bussokusekika (仏足石歌) is a rare ancient Japanese poetic form consisting of six lines with a strict 5/7/5/7/7/7 syllabic structure.
