The Duck Pond

This was inspired by a Writing Prompt where you pick three spooky words and write a poem or story based on the words.

I chose Banshee, Corrupted and Creep.

 

Banshee blood

corrupted, cursed and revolting

it’s pooling in a pond where I used to feed  the ducks.

 

Who will cage it?

will anyone  swim in it?

Who will watch it creep towards the shore?

Will anybody grab a bucket, sponge scream out in fear

more likely then not

everyone will  pretend as if it’s not there.

 

Banshee blood

corrupt,  cursed and revolting

I wonder if the Ducks that I used to feed

wished it wasn’t there.

 

Why Hello There Autumn!

Today on my way to work I saw the first dead leaves of Autumn ( poor victims of Summer )

being pushed down the street by a cool blast of wind.

I’m pretty sure my smile was wolfish and slightly demonic looking

and not entirely without a dash of charm as I savored that  moment.
