I just discovered a poetic style called the haiku sonnet. It is comprised of four haiku followed by a couplet of either five or seven syllables. Let's give it a try. Please tag me!

Woundedheart in Poetry & Free Verse

The waves crash softly

Lapping gently on the sand

Seagulls waddling at the edge

Hoping for a bite

Searching for their next delight

Marvel at the dance

As the tide brings in the feast 

Challenge
Write a formal apology to the body parts you accidentally injure most often or with the greatest intensity. Identify your personal cause of clumsiness, i.e. impatience, shortsightedness, and giddy thrills. This is meant to be lighthearted; please avoid sinister forms of self-harm unless the result is somehow hilarious.

To my precious toes,

Please, I wish to preface, by apologizing profusely for the damage I have caused to you over the years. Those nights when I was a younger and I drank way too much and I scrapped you across the dance floor in clumsy haste. The one time when I decided to try a new psychotropic medication because I wasn't sleeping, I woke up, bordering on comatose, and rammed you accidentally into the coffee table, then you were broken. It's almost as if someone should have invented a protector for you. You will never be the same and I stare down at you with sadness in my heart when I realize you are crooked and broken, the same as I. 

Challenge

She screamed desperately. The giant man grasped her neck and in the other hand, he held a straight razor. It was headed for her neck. It rendered her completely breathless.

The Beauty of the Night

Well I am awake. The others deep in slumber. Even the fur babies are resting peacefully. I wake up at 11 p and there is sleep no more.  This is the only time I can embrace my dreams. I can wish for what I want to and have no other opinions about that. No one can burst my balloon. They sleep with their pins underneath there pillows. Hail to the morning for it begins, in all its fresh and new beginnings. Problem is, I'll be asleep by noon.

Why do I love Halloween

I love the crispness in the air

The way the leaves crinkle under your feet.

Why do I.... ?

Worry about tomorrow. 

Nothing I can do to change it. 

I must live for today. 

Challenge
The Prose Masquerade Think about what monster or creature you would most enjoy emulating if you were forced to become it for the rest of your life. (You can't say a businessman is a monster and take the easy route out). Within the realms of ghouls, ghosts, vampires, centaurs, etc., pick your poison, and craft something that shows how you would cope at your worst, your best, in your newfound existence of monstrosity. Let the words run. The winner gets a trick or treat box from me.

Vampira

I would seek out a man of the night and I would persuade him to give me that special bite. The bite that would transform me into a lady of the night. As it is, I hate the daylight. I cover my windows with dark shades and I start to freak as the sunlight emits through the windows. I will create a room that is totally dark and I will sit and write and slumber during the day. When the moon is full, I will romp and play in the backyard, feeding off of unworthy pedophiles, draining them of life. 

Challenge

Guilty !

I am sorry but I had no other choice. The madness was getting to me and I was trying to find a way out. I grabbed the last bud out of the stash box and I escaped. The things we do to restore our sanity.
