Spook-tober 2025: Day 25
Routine Break I made a mistake I went to a haunted house I thought I could handle it I could not Now, my face is white My hands are shaking I can’t sleep Shadows are jumping Right from the walls It won’t go away I should have stayed at home Curled up under the coversContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 25”
Spook-tober 2025: Day 24
Horrors of the Mundane It’s lurking just out of sight My body quakes in fear I hug my knees Eyes glued to that corner A thin black leg appears I squeeze my eyes shut Nothing but a little spider Yet, the fear won’t leave

Fall to Ruin There is nothing left This phoenix will not rise again Wings have been clipped Dreams shattered on the floor The shadows creep at the door And there is nothing left Join them or die in the flames

Bad Habits I live for the thrill It gives me a chill! I thrive on it Or I’ll throw a fit! It might end me I’ll let it be! One more ride Then let it slide! The darkness will consume People will assume! Yet I will live on Even after I’m gone!

Spook-tober 2025: Day 18

Lunar Pulse The moon calls to me, Asking me to be free. Glossy fur and gnashing teeth, But a fragile human lies beneath. Under the moon I can be myself, And not confined to a box on the shelf. Once bitten and sad, But I learned it’s not all bad. My only regret, But don’tContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 17”

Bestie Beasties You are ice And I am fire We compete At almost anything My heart is hot Yours is not Yet nothing can Nothing will ever Tear us apart I will give my life I will give it For you And you for me Different we are But alike in What truly matters AndContinue reading “Spook-tober 2025: Day 16”
