Hope everyone is having a fantastic month full of all the scary stories, horror movies, macabre decorations, and haunted sight-seeing tours. May your Halloween costumes be as gory or ethereal as your hearts’ desire! Here’s another scary poem to enjoy. I may get the chance to share some flash fiction horror stories too before the month is over.

Yesterday’s Delight

Yesterday’s delight

grows teeth

and shifts into a callous skin

bristling with chaos

Screams choke the air

seeping into the fabric

of the future

(poem appeared in Feral Feline Literary Magazine’s issue 2: Forbidden Fall on November 28, 2022)

Image description – picture is of the roots and dirt clinging to an overturned tree. Within the mass of dirt and roots is a hole that looks like a mouth.
