Fear of Trespass: Write your poem in the language of a police report in which the burglar or attacker was supernatural. I highly recommend reading Pasco police officers report DUI arrest in poem form (not supernatural) for inspiration.
Here’s a resource on How to Write a Police Report. And here’s a link to some Police Terminology and here’s some more jargon.
This may work as a Prose Poem, or a Narrative poem.

Today’s image prompt is very mysterious. Is the door liquid? Was she liquid? Why is she naked? Why is the door in the floor of an empty warehouse? There’s got to be a good story there.

Please link to your creations in the comments. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.


I realized these Monstrum videos are also historical so they could be Peril of the Real in a way.

Trespass
Ghosts lay tracks across the floor
there’s nothing there
but the wood pulsates
bears witness to an incursion
of no good intent
Police cannot wrestle
with what is there not there
criminals evade who are clever
who know to seem
what they are not
Ghosts lay tracks across minds
there’s nothing there
but synapses shiver, dendrites quiver
there has been a trespass
so much is known
Police cannot prove
the not seen, the not heard
there are no witnesses
only sly ghosts, knowing
grinning triumphant
