Welcome to final day of the October Frights Blog Hop!
Today I bring you my annual dark Poetry Corner, and a spotlight on my newly released book, Horror Haiku Pas de Deux. Oh, and a freebie. Enjoy.
First a poetic teaser...
Second a spotlight...
Horror Haiku Pas de Deux by A. F. Stewart
In the shadows—voices.
Calling, screaming, moaning.
Countless tongues telling tales...
of Hell
of Monsters
and Unnatural Things
Come chase the dark words, fall into the spell of terror and sit with the poetic weaver as you watch the world burn. Horror Haiku Pas de Deux is a volume of poetry mixing horror with haiku and verse to chill your bones.
Poetic beauty lives forever with the undead.
Horror Haiku Pas de Deux is available all October for 99 Cents at
Smashwords Amazon Amazon Canada Kobo Barnes and Noble iTunes

And now some poems...
He watches, he waits
Do you see him? He sees
you.
Soon you will vanish

Ever More
Tap, tap,
come the raven,
no, it is
not him
He flies
far above the path
as the
light grows ever dim
Flee, flee,
into the woods
ignore the
raven’s caw
Hear the
silent monster march
to the
cavern in the maw
Shush,
shush, quiet now
the raven
circles here
The Faerie
Queen calls for you
and all
that you hold dear

The
Sound of Their Breathing
I
watch the world inhale, exhale
each
fragile breath so slight;
simple
to asphyxiate, faces turning pale
I
watch the world inhale, exhale
dreaming
how to make them quail,
to
quiver in fear, to scurry in flight
I
watch the world inhale, exhale
each
fragile breath so slight

Play a Tune Nevermore
Eagles fly
from the labyrinth
of darkened halls
chased by ravens
and a mournful dirge.

LOVE the idea of Horror Haikus.
Yeah, they're fun. You should check out the #HorrorHaikuesday Twitter hashtag on Tuesday. Some great poets post their horrifying haiku.
