Blackout poetry in an upcycled copy of "Clea" by Lawrence Durrell. The poem reads: "fearful magic in my veins crumpled into claws as if forever could hardly wait to be gone." Below the text is a delicate, black ink drawing of a palm facing upward. Floating just above the palm is a soft, glowing blue and teal watercolor orb, as if held by the "fearful magic" mentioned in the poem.

Found poem showing book covers at the bottom: Matilda's Retreat, Ghosts of Chanterlands, The Stones of Landane.

Turn

Sinister fascination consigned
sanity to the past.
Drawn in stone, it is
the threshold of danger,
fatal fabric of change, 
a turn to the dark.
Lonely ghosts reaching for dreams,
circle the living.

Description: A close up on the front of a stark-looking, boarded up house. Pale, shadowy siding, dark door on the far right, darkened windows.  The ghostly shapes of striped butterflies show through the wall, clamouring inside the house.  In the center of the image, the words of the haiku sit in black Century751 No2 BT Italic font, like strangely subtle graffiti on the house siding.

Found poem from their blurbs is above

Warnings

War-wrapped life,
bound in warnings of ashes and smoke,
nears the streets.
Fear shifts,
wake dormant traditions,
an unpredictable entity.
The new buried in the past,
consumed in a festival of blood.

One for @greatdismal.bsky.social, I think

I wonder if the people that wrote these error messages are fans of the Sprawl series?

Three book covers at the bottom of the page: Ink Vine and Other Swamp Stories, Ninety-Eight Sabers, and Ink Vine.
Found poem above reads:

Commandment

Swamp mansions tattooed
with the kiss of lunacy,
offer dares to reality,
cut history with
a brutal poison.
A legacy of strangeness
sneaks into the land,
its commandment:
a funeral for all.

whipped by nightmares.
Peace consumed
in the mirror of
motionless life,
the sigh of hated dark.

thieves attention, leaves

Haunting and hellish,
the lies gather echoes,
awoke a demon
of darkness and isolation.
Life caught in horrific night.

A Wicked Reawakening

Midnight poisoned sanity.
Its sordid magic immersed
the luggage of memory
in a forever grave,
undoing the coat of the past
to dance with the spirit
of a wicked reawakening.

Above is a found poem based on the blurbs:

Storm Mother

The violent balance of reality
depends on the Storm Mother,
ancient hope of nightmares.
She is Time and Fate,
shakes secrets to life
for the lost to find.
In her intent, she is her own.

A found poem created from the blurbs of three books: Despatches, Grotesque: Monster Stories, Fox Spirit on a Distant Cloud.

Beloved

The cleaver of skulls tell
of an ancient diaspora,
breathes newborn war
in serpent shadowlands,
stitching bone and mists
to silence the truth.
Beloved are the dead
who inhabit the trenches
of history.

Beloved The cleaver of skulls tell of an ancient diaspora, breathes newborn war in serpent shadowlands, stitching bone and mists to silence the truth. Beloved are the dead who inhabit the trenches of history.

For #WiHM I'll be creating some of these, something a little different to lists and things.

First up is this as a thank you to @leemurraywriter.bsky.social for all her support and her genuine friendship.

Description: A golden, glowing image.  The haiku sits in the top left in white Sanvito Pro Bold outlined in a left-to-right gradient of dark to golden brown. The central figure in this scene is a stack of five cheese rounds, one sitting atop the stack on its edge, as if to act as a face. Transparent bat or dragon wings extend from the back of the stack, and golden light seems to emanate from this figure in a bright halo.  The surrounding scene is snowy, with tree branches overhead.  On the ground, four cars surround that cheese stack facing it as though in reverence.
