Murderous moon Waiting to hunt Hiding behind Whisps of angels' breath On this dark dead cold night Left far behind Its fellow A reaper One that harvested Summer's life One that stands back Against the walls of its mind Watching Smiling At his work As Beheaded pumpkins Glower

#Vss365 #darkpoetry Bleeding roses taper into night Shadows #travel through a haunted path Across weary miles of endless spite A tragic spirit watches kingdoms fall —from the lack of warmth The lonely graves await the dark And its eternal sleep of sad sorrows—deep

It was a frat no one was unable to leave. The Greek lettered house was in eerie disrepair. Mysterious voices were loudly cheering above the buzzing of a chainsaw. Pledge's screams mixed with the brother's laughter signified the end of the hazing ritual. #horrorprompt #vss365

The coldest night of the year was during high school baseball season in our part of the southern US. I ran in place while #cheering our boys for nearly seven innings. The snack stand ran out of coffee and hot chocolate by the second. Our team won. We could thaw out. #vss365

The keg’s empty, the music’s still blasting… but no one’s left the basement. That’s the energy of today’s #horrorprompt (#2354: #frat). One word. Infinite nightmare fuel. Frat houses, hazing gone wrong, parties that never end, things that crawl out after the lights go down — whatever dark direction you take it. Write a short, terrifying tale inspired by #frat, post it, and tag #horrorprompt so the rest of us can fear it too.

The wind bellows a dupe tune. Delivery at the earliest, nature was the first one day shipping empire. In the dance of ancestral lives gone past, the hands of trees wave sweet good byes to wary days. The stars sparkle over superstars coming home to #cheering children. #vss365

The #cheering subsided when the witch leapt from the pyre fire in her hands revenge blazing her raven eyes pity the fool who betrays a good woman her nails are scythes she'll rip out his lies hang his deceiving heart on her barbed wire clothes line to drip dry #vss365 📸Pixabay

#vss365 #cheering she remembered the kitchen radio how it sang on after everyone had left she would pause in the doorway one hand on the switch and let the song finish years later she sways on a swing above the darkening water the tune comes back the words do not she hums a little somewhere inside her a small crowd is cheering she is surprised how much this helps

She lays beneath the the full moon's gaze, The crow delivers her a message, The mist zephyrs carry a tear, The hydrangeas hang like her heart, She appears to be in rest, For now... Poem by:#13thwordsmith using my pic and prompt phrase #bionicanadian

Bob whispers softly to Nora that life moves so fast when people live inside their thoughts. He leans down to press a comforting kiss to her forehead, encouraging her to simply enjoy dinner. Right now, she is safe, and he is #cheering her on in whatever she wants to do. #vss365

#roomprompt #poetry Velvet shadows swallow light We breathe damp stone and winter air A #strange_love, cold though burning Binds my wrists to your quiet pulse Trace the hollow of my throat And pull me in, into the beautiful dark

#horrorprompt #vsshorror #darkpoetry Hark the #music_box uncloses Burying the scent of summer roses A phantom waltz begins to weave To make the lonely ones grieve It seeps like loves last hope Through floor and all that be stone Claiming the weeping soul, so alone

#vss365 #vsshorror Shattered windows of an abandoned school rattle in the pelting storm. Sheltering inside, from their cars breakdown—a couple freeze as a bell rings & a clock turns midnight. A locker slams with a faint sound of kids #cheering. Many small red eyes stare in the lightning light.

The tapered pods were soft & reassuring. Humans with angst settled in with ease. They wanted a secure comforting space away from their problems. But once sewn into the pods, their surrender_screams went unheard. Their only exit was to be roasted for dinner. #horrorprompt #vss365
