Notes About The Poem

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.

Scarlet Sword

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
