  • NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 23

    Something a little different today. The Lonely One Oh won’t you please come in and sit, Not many folks stop by. The place gives them a weird feeling, So most won’t even try. But you’re not most, you’re braver far, At least got through the door. If you could just come closer now, I’ll show…

  • NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 13

    So today was a “No Idea What I’m Doing” day. I just started writing and let it take over and become whatever it was going to be. Turns out, it’s a little bit Lovecraft with a hint of “Cabin in the Woods”. As always, I’d love to know what people think. The Keeper of the…

  • Reading some Poe earlier lent tonights verse a more macabre air.  Infidelity, vengeance and remorse…. Enjoy! Ghost of a Romance You come to me, you cling to me, You beg what I can’t give. You shade, you fade, oh spectre rude, I can’t help you to live. You shriek, beseech, and weep at me, You…

  • Tonight I decided it’s time to revisit the supernatural side of things again.  Possibly from spending the last couple of days at the Ottawa Comiccon . Ancient, Inevitable, Darkness The nightmare stalks, it haunts this place, More dreadful than you know. So many now have come and gone, A dark seeps from below. There’s hands…
