Challenge
My first challenge for you: Think deliciously dark and write a poem or short story reminiscent of the works of Edgar Allen Poe.
Note well my dear
Draw near....oh my darling
Hear- all the spirits calling
Listen to their night cry....
O how they weep by, & by.
Move a little closer-
Ever shall they pester.....
Disturbing each human-being,
Woe to every person living....
Thoughts ever full of mystery-
Ah, -time to hunt down history.
Solve this passing crisis-
I’ll have to speak with Osiris.
Spine tingling-
Bone chilling...
Mind boggling...
Nanoseconds ticking...
Here comes the moment,
Answers to my torment....
Death-----´tis a part of life,
So, now----I head to play my fife.
