Hello Haikuers! Today I would like you to join me in welcoming our featured artist AND poet for the month,
a self taught artist creating mixed media Dark Surrealism using any tool or supply that I can get my hands on painstaking using innovative and cross hatching techniques to transmute the idea in my head onto canvas through the Alchemy that is hard work.
My subject matter is the worshiping of Dark Art focusing on contemplation of the human condition and Death while expressing. Trying to grasp the vastness of the outward universe while trying to simultaneously cope with the inner universe that is our imagination and as a overall catharsis for mental illness ,
I truly believe that I would not be alive if it were not for my creationsI am also a published writer with several of my poems being published in a collection of poems for Sarah Lawrence College in New York
And publishing my first book of art and poetry entitled “Exorcism of a Poet “ with Janet Fitch ,Author of White Oleander writing the foreword for my book
“Enjoyed these drawings ,The graphic quality, the mood ,the sense of your hand. All best !”
To Inspire You:
Through Dragon breathing
Brimstone steaming
Nightmares dreaming
When I see you again ,
We’ll be Screaming.

Last week we contemplated the fate of the hanged man. Here is what you wrote:
Playing with poppets
Drew unwanted attention
Choked the sin from herOr
Strange harvest this year
Young witches wave like ripe fruit

a warning for some
rallying cry for others
the hanged martyr swings

I thought the new moon
A burnt-out lightbulb to change
I was drunk and wrong.#horrorhaikuesday pic.twitter.com/S6jUVraGRe— Chris Fischer (@SurlyByDefault) October 30, 2018
It’s no trick or treat
As the kiss of the undead
Nudges at my roots#HorrorHaikuesday#vss365 #WrittenRiver #Btr2sDay #HODHeartbeats #DimpleVerse #Halloween pic.twitter.com/IbSEs6pFrO— P (@epower05) October 30, 2018
Beyond #HorrorHaikuesday
The congregation seems to swell
As something strange pervades
The church to hear the preacher yell
Of martyrs and crusades.
When lightning stains my vision red
And storms command our silence,
I witness the assembled dead
Still praising ancient violence. pic.twitter.com/Vy5VoqXYZi— Nano Horror (@tweetsthecreeps) October 30, 2018
Imprinted on the glass
her innocent blood, hanging…

“just an effigy”
that’s what they told childhood me,
but I heard him cry#horrorhaikuesday pic.twitter.com/xYjPkkTwsH— Kylie Goetz (xkg) (@eXtremeKylieG) October 30, 2018
‘gainst the blood red sky
he danced the hemp fandango
