Well, As it’s nearly halloween, I thought I would flick through my notebook to find a post from yesteryear to share with you and I found this poem that I wrote in response to a challenge set by that fantastic blogger, A Guy Called Bloke. It’s sort of appropriate for Valentines day or for Halloween… Enjoy:
Well it may be far too late now, but A Guy Called Bloke set a challenge to write a horror story (or Poem) including the following items:
Spooky Card
Rotten Heart
Carnivorous Chocolate Box
Haunted Balloons
Romantic Massacre
Voodoo Dolly
Undead Partner
Devilish Desire
See the posts here:
Valentine’s for Luvvies Challenge 2019 . 9
Valentine’s for Luvvies Challenge 2019 D9
So here is my attempt.
A spooky card came through the door,
I opened it up and nearly swore,
It was from a man I’d thought was dead.
He should have been, I’d chopped off his head.
My undead partner will turn me insane,
It seemed he’d risen up once again,
I thought I’d driven him away.
But now he’s back on Valentine’s Day!
This time I’ll extract his rotten heart,
A romantic massacre to tear him apart,
Or else I’ll use my voodoo doll,
Or haunted balloons, I’m on a roll.
Or how about a carnivorous chocolate box?
Of failing that a dose of chicken pox?
No, I’ll overindulge my devilish desire,
And burn him satanically on the fire.
