badmouth me ? she is always vitriolically cuckoo ! I find her confrontation detestably fiendish .
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • September 7–13, 2026)
I've heard of the Circus Of The Damned;
By all accounts the rumors are true;
The graffiti makes it seem so grande;
Filled with copper and turquoise blue
billboards have you longing to attend;
In the French Quarter stories continue;
St. Louis boasts a fantasy alive and well;
Vampires perform in this fiendish hub,
gothic striptease mixed with a carnival;
More intense energy than any club,
blood will surely soak your ticket stub.
Bloody Bird
Everything till that moment
was a long dream...
That the bird sang to me,
flew to me,
that its breath crossed my nostrils,
A long awaited
much loved dream
In which its multi-coloured Plumes
Moved around my lips...
suddenly a cloud creeps
Into the skies of its vein..
It was June , I remember
A fiendish sleepy cloud
That could never shower
On its own, mercy...
Where have all the rainbows gone?
I had counted more than hundred
where has the bird gone?
There was a promise in its eyes...
One thing I saw for sure...
Its beak was red with my blood...

Gray
Hazy
Entities
In front of the bed
Tormenting the anguished lost soul
As infectious flies flying in open wounds by sins
Escaping from the reality with delusions appearing as real to feebled mind

The fiendish cookies are made
Shapes of night objects
Ones like pumpkins are real good
Great skeletons too
They each have icing
Delightful
Ghoul!
