I read some horror poems by Edgar Allen Poe and other famous poets and I was inspired to write a horror poem myself just based on how dramatic and scary the imagery is in some of the poems I read.

Slow and silent steps with a sword in the dark the killer longs for fine scarlet wine while taking sadistic joy in ending one's arc to taste the scarlet blade in the night at nine Another stab into the heart of an innocent at midnight under the white cresent as overwhelming insanity is present to the point where the bloodlust is bioluminescent
