I am enjoying these Halloween poem prompts, I was initially intimidated, deciding to face fear with fear ha ha haa! To do this one in the minimum five lines a delicious challenge. Thank you so much Russell! Peace and a lovely day xomo

Thank you S1 :) I saw there was one spot left for this one and the muse at last obliged. However I am noticing a theme in my Halloween pens, consuming/dismembering human flesh, m'not sure what that says... ;)
