For today’s prompt at Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “treat,” I reworked the mouth of my Jack-o-lantern bokeh filter. Since my treat today is going to be homemade butternut squash soup, I thought I’d try my idea of putting jack-o-lantern faces on my squash. And it worked! So fun. Since treats are usually associated with taste,Continue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 6: Treating Myself to Conquering My Fears & Bokeh Jack-o-Squashes”

#OctPoWriMo & Writober Day 5: Tricks Played Along the Path
How’s that for a trick? I found a simple healthy dark chocolate recipe, and a Halloween chocolate mold (glad I had one skull left, I already ate all the pumpkins). I think those little people are supposed to be cherubs (other chocolate mold), but I choose to see them as people running in terror. MyContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & Writober Day 5: Tricks Played Along the Path”

Vespertilian Versimilitude
After posting my OctPoWriMo poem today, I happened upon #tshalloweenchallenge. Since I missed Pumpkin and monster, here’s my pumpkin that has a parasitic monster (again): Today’s prompt Bats reminded me of a poem I wrote during NaPoWriMo 2018 called “Be Forewarned: Expect Vespertilian Behavior.” I really like the word vespertilian (adjective – of, relating toContinue reading “Vespertilian Versimilitude”
Thinking About #Writober
I got in the Halloween spirit a little early this year. Yesterday, I was tweeting about Readers Imbibing Peril. It starts the first of September, but I always forget until October. So in one way I’m early by only starting a couple weeks late. This year’s group book is The Sundial by Shirley Jackson. IContinue reading “Thinking About #Writober”
#Writober Day 31: Happy Halloween!
#OctPoWriMo Today’s OctPoWriMo theme is Finding peace. There were a couple of new-to-me forms this OctPoWriMo that I really enjoyed. On this final day and with the theme Finding Peace, I decided to revisit the Clarity Pyramid. PEACE at rest no conflict uncomplicated not searching anymore no need or want while writing “Stay in theContinue reading “#Writober Day 31: Happy Halloween!”

#Writober Day 28: Mending the broken places
#OctPoWriMo Today’s OctPoWriMo theme is Mending the broken places. The suggested form, Pantoum, looks interesting. Mending is only temporary Pierced, torn, unraveling forms a hole Reunite them with needle and thread The fabric can never again be whole This tear requires a tight zigzag instead Reunite them with needle and thread When left too longContinue reading “#Writober Day 28: Mending the broken places”

Turns out at the heart of it I found ghosts and love 🙂 #OctPoWriMo Today’s OctPoWriMo theme is White. The suggested form is Musette. Blank page vacant with potential wakens nothing glaring light blinds reeling bleached bare marks to be made a flare Note: I found this poem form more challenging than expected. I likeContinue reading “#Writober Day 25: At the heart of it”
#Writober Day 23: Parasites
This is my new pet (he may think the same of me). He doesn’t have fur yet (give him a couple weeks), but he does cheer me and fill me with a warm glow every time I see him. He also looks at me with hungry eyes, like a pet, which could soon be aContinue reading “#Writober Day 23: Parasites”
