I stumbled on Exquisite Corpse by happy accident. It is a poetry game comprised of lines submitted by multiple bloggers, then combined to create one piece.
This month's theme was Halloween and the rule was to submit three free form lines without using the words black, orange or spooky. It was hosted by Dragonfly Poems.
Halloween Magick
Little people dressed so sweet
Dance along the city street
Hollering trick or treat
Ghouls, ghosts and vampire alike
Horror strikes this very night
So join these monsters, turn out the light
Whispering Whispering witches gathered ’round the cauldron,
Chanting magical words of wonderous accord,
Shhh, they may see you watching…
Butchered, bleeding
lying on the porch,
a pumpkin.
The veil of mysticism descends on the dark night.
Glowing jack o lanterns and spirits among us
Tonight is for us all.
You can probably tell which verse is mine. (Hint: it involves a pumpkin!) I'm a bit pleased with myself that Magick is in the title. It could be a coincidence, but I choose to think not.
You may now kiss the ring. (And when you're done be sure to head over to humorbloggers.com for all your humor and Halloween needs.)
