November 1st

October was a month of terror

for all who enjoy being scared

a month prepared

just for you

a plethora of poetry

31 days of

drabbles

and shorts

to prove I could

a goal I set

and achieved

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

to you from me!

But

now it's time to write

for NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH

I've a novel to finish

the 7^th in a series

Murder on Mount Fairweather

wish me luck

it's due to be published

next month

so I'll leave you alone

give you a break

from my endless spate

of words that rhyme

I know

you're thinking…

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

😂

DAY "31" OF THE HAUNTING - HALLOWEEN!

Ooops!

"It's a fake graveyard, for heaven's sake," I yelled at the officer at my door.

"Then, please explain why we found your husband buried underneath the fake zombie?" He answered with a question I had no answer for.

I backed up into my living room and fell into the easy chair. The officer followed.

Startled, confused, and unbelieving, I finally understood. "This…this is a joke. You and Cooper cooked this up as a Halloween prank. Didn't you," I said in relief. "Funny. Too, too funny."

"No, ma'am, this is no hoax. Your husband is being tended to by forensics now. He's definitely dead. The coroner confirmed that just minutes ago."

"But how do you know it's Cooper?"

"Fingerprints. Plus, he called 911 last night. Said we'd find him there this morning, and that you were responsible."

"No," I said with a smile. "Cooper couldn't have. I killed him two days…."

Pay Attention

My back might be turned.

no need for concern

I'm observing

as I always do

the many victims

that'll get their due

are you one of them

have you heeded my warning

or will all Hallows Eve

find you're one of them!

MUAHAHAHAHA!

DAY "29" OF THE HAUNTING

SIREN'S SONG

I hear the siren's song and long to be in my lover's arms.

She haunts me on land and sea. Beautiful, sultry, and true. Kisses that taste of honey. A body that gives all and more.

The siren tempts my soul with sweet promises, the serenity of a tropical island. Blue skies, fruit, and fish prepared just so and vows that she'll always be at my sexual beck-n-call.

However, I've heard a rumor. Once my beauty's satisfied, I'll be put out to pasture until dinner's next call.

Seriously, though, I'm wholly against being on the menu after just one ball.

SWEET KISSES

 

She's beautiful, so sweet

enticing, exciting

a woman to behold

to worship

to take home

to make her your own

but it's Halloween

is she truly your queen

remember, this is the night

 truth is masked

personalities hidden

nothing's forbidden

do you dare

make your move

take a chance

she may choose you

instead of the prince

trying to convince her

with gold and frankincense

oh, look, you've caught her eye

still, she played shy

but you've won the night

and quickly took flight

at midnight

finally isolated

her kiss was all yours

in her arms, you were clasped

under her power, finally cast

she literally sucked you dry

not blood, but breath and life

she came away more beautiful

you came away re-usable

a plant stand

wow, what a man

I'd say you've won

a heavenly death

better than a gun

in the arms of love

there's nothing sweeter

than the kiss

of a succubus man-eater

MUAHAHAHAHA!

DAY "27" OF THE HAUNTING

Another dawn

and we're not gone

we made a pledge

and our word

is our bond!

100 words

for all you nerds

who suffer coulrophobia.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

The Perfect Child

They say you're safe during the day. But I can attest that it's not true. At a carnival when I was two, a sweet-looking clown made me smile. Then quickly disappeared with me in a pouch.

Twenty years later. I'm the clown. Red hair, red nose, and a pouch ready to go. I can make them laugh too. And the perfect child I will have soon.

But Mommy's overly protective, so I follow them home. Distracted and on the phone, her sweet little guy will be mine soon.

One day he'll delight the crowds to find his perfect child.

In case you didn't know

coulrophobia is the fear of clowns.

Not funny

Not cute

But neither is a clown

in an oversized suit

MUAHAHAHAHA!
