Student pries up dorm floorboard.
#Žemyna finds buried diary.
Secrets vine thick from pages.
They knot deep in throat.
Breath pulls dirt inward.

Redcap of Dunnor Peel by Richard H. Fay Grisly deeds done in days of yore Forever tainted Dunnor Peel. Evil acts performed in years past On guiltless babe and stainless maid Cursed tall tower, damned lordly hall. Behind those walls where murder reigned, Where grim laird once held bloody sway, A borderland haunt prowls the dark. Atop night-blackened battlements, Phantom lights and eldritch murmurs Disturb midnight’s starlit stillness. Iron-shod footsteps stomp across Wooden floors long rotted away. Within that fortress cold and dank, A fiery-eyed dwarf roams the dark. A human caught in Dunnor falls To a pikestaff wickedly thrust Right through his beating mortal heart. The savagely gruesome goblin Re-dyes his faded crimson cap In a pool of freshly spilt blood. With gore-stained hat upon his pate, A murdering fiend stalks the dark. (Originally published in The Scareald, Issue No. 2, October 2012.)
Today's Goblin Week post — my dark poem "Redcap of Dunnor Peel" with my artwork "Peeking Redcap".
I told you you'd bee seeing more redcaps before the week is out.

Murder in the Rain By Richard H. Fay Rain falls. Rivulets flow down This lonely dark lane. Blood drips From my gore-stained axe, Reddening the stream. Streaks mar Your once ruddy cheeks Now turned ghastly pale. Deed done, I slowly tromp on As the rain still falls.
Added my new dark poem "Murder in the Rain" to a digital manipulation of an image of drops of rain by sourabhkrishna806 obtained from Pixabay. Image I used is free for use under the Pixabay Content License.

Red background with light coloured letters. On the bottom right, there's a light green flower. Title: Memory Issue Text: "I feel like gardening is the only thing keeping me sane nowadays So you can imagine how my aching bones froze when I saw her eye sockets It took me longer than I’d like to admit—I’ve always been braver than this For the first time in years, I had a reason to be shaking like I was Nonetheless, I called the police It was the right thing to do I just didn’t understand when they put me in cuffs The stress was too much for my failing heart It stopped shortly after they forced me into the back of the car It was only then that I remembered the name of my late wife" - A. M. Wendt

Little Van Ticky was oh so very tricky.
Eating the whole towns bread.
One day, he was so vile, he burned up a pile.
And they forced him down to a grave.
Little Van Ticky, was oh so very tricky.
Now sleeps with his eyes wide awake...

My voice will not come,
I try to scream, but still can't,
A sound trapped inside.

Enter My Nightmares Wander with me through Perilous moor, Haunted vale, Moonlit wood. Have your breath stolen By eldritch cries, Ebon forms, Flaming Eyes. Naked in the dark, Your flesh shudders, Chilled by ghosts, Touched by Death.
"Enter My Nightmares", the dark poem that serves as an introduction to the darker "Gothic Visions" half of my double-length speculative poetry collection COSMIC JOURNEYS AND GOTHIC VISIONS.
