Horror Haiku Club Prompt
May 5 - Kelpie
The kelpie is a creature of Scottish legend. It lives as a beautiful black stallion in deep pools in rivers and streams.
Your prompt is KELPIE.
Beautiful black horse
Waiting in a deep, deep pool
Devouring maidens
But can transform into a man, to lure humans to its home.
Haiku, inspired by Richard Wright's poignant style:
Beneath the still moon,
Black horse emerges, cloaked in
Lonely hunger pangs.
.
Ripples betray him,
His mane flickers with despair—
Nature’s cruel decree.
.
Autumn wind whispers,
He answers in low echoes,
A friendless feast calls.
Kelpie oiled and slick
Black reflection in full moonlights
Slip into bubbles to bathe
Imagined waiting washed delight.
