Hello my late-summer flowers! Speaking for myself, I am delighted to see August turn to its latter days and the temperature turn cooler. I am ready for pumpkins and witches! Okay, so I am rushing things, and depending on where you are you may be longing for spring instead. No matter! Our source this week comes from that master of the macabre, Stephen King!
I have chosen his 4-story collection Full Dark, No Stars. It's a good one, though--as the title suggests--dark as can be. Your poems need not be dark unless you want them to be, though!
What we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new, original poem of our own. Then simply link up, visit others, and then relax until you hear something strange rattling in the closet or at your window in the night. Bwahahaha! This prompt remains active through Sunday.
And now, your List!

Miracles happen all the time...this is living proof of it. So glad to be here, and thank you Shay for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Carrie!
DeleteI love the title, just for starters...........will be back, likely tomorrow morning. Watching the convention right now........hope abounding. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteI watched it too until I got too sleepy halfway through Biden's speech. It was very uplifting!
DeleteThank you for the words - I really liked the title too (and duly stole it! Hope that is ok) ~Jae
ReplyDeleteNo Title Police around here, Jae! ;-)
DeleteThe Four Care-Bears of the Apocalypse: War, Famine, Death, and Snuggles. On it!

DeleteHa ha ha ha ha!
DeleteI think the only thing strange, or should I say dark, in the closet was me. Thanks as always for the inspiration Shay.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you here, Susie, and no need to hide in the closet; you rock.
DeleteGood old King. Dude never stops. I had to look up huckster :) I want to check out his book, but if you think it's good, then it'll be creepy as hell and I might have to pass it up!
