Burning it up this #Inktober #HorrorHaikuesday

Are you ready for Halloween yet? Got your candy for the trick-or-treaters? Are the pumpkins are ready to go? I got mine ready! Though less for the festivity of it and more for the stress relieving of it. I was in a bad space, mentally, last week. Just, exhausted and stretched too thin. But I turned it around and I’m feeling a lot more positive and ready to take on the world now! If you’re curious about either pumpkins or Halloween-y stress relief, you can see that here:

And now, to the Haikuesday goodness.

To Inspire You:

Mark Antony and Caesar
both did their best to please her
oh yes, she set the world ablaze
back in her glory days
and now she’s breathing fire
for you with every gasp
unflappably inflammable
and damning every asp.

Poem by the talented Kylie Goetz of wordofthepoetry.blogspot.com

Fire Breather

Ages dead and drap’d
in gauze this mummy queen greets
danger for applause.

I do not recall
how we got to here or where
that nice cat has gone.
