Botryococcus braunii causes Sea of Galilee to turn red.

At the river bank,
crimson water laps the shore,
bones wedged in the rocks.

my bloodshot eyes close |
opening in a dark place |
where teeth monsters roam |

You call it garnet
whereas to me, it screams blood,

broken bones are so pointy |

Warped by obsession.
Fevered want clouds our vision.
Our humanness— 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥.

Last Xmas, I gave |
you my heart in a wet bag. |
You did not eat it. |

My sins have gained sight. |
A thousand thousand eyeballs |
crawl toward my doom. |

Deep chasm of fear—
your inescapable fate,
sealed from the inside.

Our theme this month is A Christmas to Dismember and it pairs perfectly with December's cold moon.

under a cold moon
a Christmas to Dismember
hiding from Santa

I think my eyes have had enough screens for today. I thought that first sentence said, "Satan and I have officially become face snugglers."

I haven't done my #horrorhaiku or my #horrorprompt yet, but I think when they are completed, I shall be done with screens for the night!

The scathing mother—
brimstone breath, and blood-stained teeth.
Inherit her fire.

here's my #horrorhaiku
break open the seal |
under the moons at midnight |
prepare to wither |
#horrorwriterschat

an open doorway,
the child drawn to the wide world,
the hunting wolves howl.

Hair, wrinkles and fat
Grim menopausal horrors
Happy Halloween 🎃

Silent film starlet
Theda Bara, Gloomy vamp.
Sultry haunted, camp.

She made them all swoon
Raked in box office gold
Till forgotten, old.

Greatest works were lost
Sexy and spooky thriller
Siren eyed stellar

Fame sank its fangs
Drained her blood till bone white
She cried “No more!”

#HorrorHaiku

Unconscious root rot,
infected nightmare machine,
sleep-walking monsters.

Night sky, the silhouette of a city. An orange glow from below suggests fire. Untitled. "Orange is the sky Says the mother in rubble “Eat your roaches, kids”" - A. M. Wendt @aninksword

My first ever attempt at a haiku.
This was the ninth poem for my #spooktober challenge 2025. The prompt was "And the mother fed her children the best roaches she could find".
