For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “drink,” I bought yummy, colorful juices and repurposed my candy mold as an ice tray. The drink photos did not go well. I made a terrible mess and I’m going to have to deal with a drunk alligator and zombie later, but I like how the candy pumpkin shots turnedContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 21: Playing with Firewater”

#OctPoWriMo Day 20: We’re All Part of the Decor
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “decor,” I thought it would be a great inspiration to put up my decorations early, but it’s supposed to rain for a week, so I thought I might make some decor inside instead. Decor makes me think of lamps and wallpaper and carpets, but once I got started appreciating theContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 20: We’re All Part of the Decor”
#OctPoWriMo Day 19: Warning! Delicious Gore Story
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “desserts,” I looked at some fun Halloween desserts and found a vegan “white chocolate” recipe. I also loved the idea of putting raspberry filling in the center of my chocolates as blood, so I gave both ideas a try with my Halloween candy mold. The photos tell a Halloween horrorContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 19: Warning! Delicious Gore Story”
#OctPoWriMo Day 18:Once Upon a Bloodsucker
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “vampire,” I created a fang filter and found the monsters in my world. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt is an empty pot. The suggested form is Double Exposure. I like this type of poem-within-a-poem form. It provides the opportunity for more than one speaker, or combining two different related images (like vampiresContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 18:Once Upon a Bloodsucker”

#OctPoWriMo Day 16 & #SoCS: If Caught When I Fall
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “spider,” all I had to do was step outside to find plenty of spiders. There was I giant wolf spider on the ceiling in the shop too.

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 14: If I Were Me Dancing in the Rain
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “cat,” I wasn’t sure what to do, because my kitty friend is too cute to be scary and too independent for costumes. So I had to put extra thought into this one. I woke up in the middle of the night and the power was out. After rummaging around andContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 14: If I Were Me Dancing in the Rain”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 13: Haunted Surrender
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “ghost,” I changed the eyes on one of my ghost filters and got out the creepy children figurines.

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 12: An Ode to Tortured Love & Frogs

OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt is “ode.” The 2018 prompt was “Tortured.” I like the contrast of writing a tortured poem ofContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 12: An Ode to Tortured Love & Frogs”
