My hats off to Nan's humor challenge, < !signature-->I enjoyed it very much... now how about lets try the other way.. in dark, scarey, horror poems if you will... any style will do...as long as it is scarey!!!!! an example of mine below... Triology of Terror (Triolets) (my dark horror challenge) I Your heart beats faster, now it pounds. Terror wells, choking off your scream. The shriek echoes as it rebounds. Your heart beats faster, now it pounds, Listening to those frightful sounds. Realizing it's not just a dream, Your heart beats faster, now it pounds. Terror wells, choking off your scream. II Now drowning in dark silence there, You're holding your breath out of fear. There frozen in time with shocked stare. Now drowning in dark silence there, Red, evil eyes appear and glare. Panic grabs you tight, as they near. Now drowning in dark silence there, You're holding your breath out of fear. III Trembling, cold sweat drips from brow, As death nears, then passes you by. While fear still holds you frozen now, Trembling, cold sweat drips from brow. Fears cold grip now lets go, head bows. Lungs fill with air, then lets to sigh. Trembling, cold sweat drips from brow, As death nears, then passes you by.

I doubt my pen is able to gush out (gush out?) blood as good as yours...but I'll see about squeezing a few drops out of it  (That supergrin (I still say it's a Hallowmeen mask) is the closest my writes get to scarey. *L*) --...chanson~ "Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory..."

Steve, these was horrifying pieces. Well done. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Juls ~ Yes that is a good way to put it.. I really am not that big a fan of horror but I find writing these to be fun and must be some inner release of feelings or fears maybe...thanks for your time and thoughts... SBDoreen ~ who are you trying to fool? I know all to well your ability to gush forth untold excellence in whatever you attempt, and that your beauty and kindness is unquestionable... thanks for your most appreciated words.... SBKethry ~ I do try....thank you so much SB“The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal” |
