Creepy! I enjoy aabb rhyme scheme and use it often myself. It makes the poem flow well, I think. Your rhyming is spot on and your poem a combination of chills and smiles. Nicely done!
Ooooooh, what a spooky picture I have in my mind of the melted tree. Maybe it's time for a sequel to your book "Halloween and the Macabre" to be compiled!
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.

That become imbedded in your mind.
Release them soon as possible
Let their freedom bring you peace.
Who can say they are spooky? Not I
For in me they were born
I can harbor them or set them free.
We have the choice of our salvation
The wise know this and pray.
Let no poor soul dismiss the obvious,
For it is in his salvation to accept or reject
That which is sent by the tempter.
That treacherous tree certainly was a shape shifter for sure. But I'm worried about his car? ;-)

An eerie write.
It would seem that tree's bark,
had quite a bite.

The Tree 📝📝📝 © Regis Auffray
A giant
by the water’s edge
forever it seemed
had stood tall and proud
Birds nested in its thick hair
and slept the nights
along its mighty arms
Creatures of field and forest
rested in its bosom
and sheltered there from the storms
Fish shadow-bathed
in its silhouette
hiding from the sun
as the river sang on its way to the sea
The man came and cut down the tree
Sap ran like blood to the earth
The man sat on the stump of the giant
The man laughed
The birds and the fish
vanished
along with the creatures
from field and forest
The river wept
Love and best wishes to you, Jane,
Regis.
