DEFENDING THE PEN It’s all about murder . . . romance – writing it! I post flash fiction, book announcements, interviews, and the things I love. Careful . . . you may end up the victim . . . of fun!

O Ye of
Little Faith
You call us
cute
but we stay
mute
we’re more
than you imagine
spells we cast
with abandon
don’t cross
our path
or ill will
you’ll have
all your days
through
she might be
the witch
but we’re the
true bitch
so don’t
dimiss
for I’ll get
my wish
death won’t be
sweet
as daily
you’ll repeat
the disaster
we fashion
for Halloween
is our passion!
Muhahahahaha!

UNBURIED
The nights are
chill
the days,
hotter than hell
my bones ache
all due to a
pesky snake
and the soil is
never dry
at least there
are no more flies
but the
comfort of a grave
it’s all so
depraved
to be unburied
but it’s
definitely better than being married!
Muhahahahaha!

SWIPE RIGHT
It was a Halloween
dating site
when handsome, despite the mask
caught my
attention
foregoing all
inhibition
he was the one
our first night
would be nothing but fun
I was right
it was a Halloween
to remember
Mr. Handsome,
so easy to dismember
and dinner for all my guests
just so delicious
and oh-so-nutritious.
Muahahaha!

SEANCE
Candlelight
flickers
a few novices
snicker
flowers offer
comfort
a reminder of summer
the medium
enters
takes a seat
at the center
no smile is
offered
even after
mine is proffered
Halloween she
says
a night of
spirit play
will their
presence
be an answer
to prayer
or will you
all become
their prey.
Muahahaha!

My interview with Anne Greenawalt of WOW regarding my story

AN ANGEL
I know an angel
of earthly fame
many seek her confidence
life is tough
living can become rough
this angel understands
many lose hope
but her light's bright
her words pure
this angel
with a heart so true
offers love and advice
recognized truth
means sorrow
disappears
promise returns
her magic works
happy folks
all recognize
her blessing
God's messenger of love
the restorer
of damaged souls
this holy vessel of perfection
but she knows sorrow
and immense pain
more profound than most
suffering despite
her heavenly calling
her beauty shines from
within
and still
she gives all
despite her grief
this spiritual being
a guardian angel
of hope.
