Face of a man, body of a loin, and a tail wielding spines of poison; the Manticore. Today’s beast of legend comes from artist, Nemesis Influx. Creator of iconographic blends of beast and man that question the basis of both.

To Inspire You

The cursed conqueror
 waits with patient calm for our 
guard to be let down.

She floats above on 
wings of our fragmented dreams,
ready to consume.

Last week our prompt was “Let’s get medieval!” Here is what you guys wrote using the #HorrorHaikuesday over on Twitter:

It is the old way.
Kings: the enemy of kings –
rude nobility.

Love is a mirror-
We seek reflections, parents
who hurt us the most. #horrorhaikuesday #haiku #poetry #mentalhealth

#HorrorHaikuesday
I cast no shadow
In spring’s first sunrise. These months
Have erased so much.
