A little Challenge

 

Hey Friends,

Bet you thought I would be gone for another month or longer. Surprise! I’m here. I have been doing all kinds of crazy stuff so far this month. I haven’t been writing like I wanted to. I have been trying to learn calligraphy, but I am behind on the lessons…oops. But I have been watching a ton of horror movies!

But that is not what this is about today. Today I bring to you a new challenge I have given myself. You see, there is this thing called inktober. Artist use it to draw something everyday and they have prompts to do this as well.

I got to thinking, you know if I put my pen to paper and make a picture out of words…can’t that apply to inktober too? So I decided to write a poem every day using the inktober prompts! I won’t bore you with posting these every day here. I thought maybe I would share once a week. I also got a bit of a late start, so I only have 4 ready at the moment.

Should you wish to get a sneak peak at the poetry I am writing for this you can check it out on my DeviantArt Page HERE. But here are the first 4 I have so far.

1. Poisonous:

   Your lips are pretty
   And so are your words
   No one noticed
   How toxic you were
   Your words are lies
   Wrapped in shiny paper
   And giant beautiful bows
   Poetic to the surface
   While damaging the soul
   And this is where I am
   Lost in pretty thoughts
   Traveling the labyrinth
   Of all your handsome tales
   The poison is deep in my bones
   Tearing apart who I once was
   Making me your idea of perfect
   It was the first hello
   That was poisonous
   I had a feeling
   But I ignored it

2. Tranquil:

   They sleep when the world is quiet
   It’s the best time to befriend the stars
   Watch them glitter in the distance
   Listen to the earth speak
   At night is the only time

   They say it’s peaceful at night
   It’s the best time to reflect
   But if you listen closely you hear
   The earth is not talking
   It’s screaming

   They sleep when the world is quiet
   It’s the best time to befriend the stars
   Watch them burn in anger
   Listen to the screaming earth
   At night earth and the stars plot their revenge

3. Roasted:

   Round and round it goes
   Fire licking the flesh
   Popping of flames fill the silence
   The heat spreads its arms

   Some stand warm in the arms
   Others stand back in the cold
   Watching in frozen horror
   As the girl is roasted for her sins

4. Spell:

   Bubble bubble toil and trouble
   Now I think I’m seeing double
   Was that wine or was it more
   I can’t seem to touch the floor

   I’m floating away above the mist
   The string is tight around my wrist
   Clouds are laughing but it’s not amusing
   My head is spinning it’s all confusing

   Finding it difficult to open my eyes
   Maybe alone at a party wasn’t wise
   It was fun for a second I must say
   But they knew I could never stay

   They gave me jokes and funny lines
   We talked about our favorite wines
   I tried the one that was blood red
   Thick and warm and full of dread

   It coated my throat like sweet honey
   But the flavor wasn’t worth the money
   I should have known from the smell alone
   My cover would soon be blown

   Now my dress is torn and tattered
   I’m sure my wrist bone shattered
   I had to make them pay and suffer
   They may be vampires, a witch is tougher

Let me know what you think. Do you have a favorite? Would you join me in this fun little challenge? You can catch up!

Until next time!
