Horror Haiku Club Prompt
May 10 - Black Swallower
Living in the depths of the ocean, Chiasmodon niger, the black swallower…
Your prompt is BLACK SWALLOWER.
Black hole devouring
Shimmering light in the depths
Swallowing its death
… can swallow a fish larger than itself, storing it in an expandable stomach.
Abysmal devourer—deep throat
Sword swallowing saw-blades seize
Sizes too large, but packs in pouches—
Leftovers for nightly snacks.
She smiles the smile of
A mother having felt a
Kick in her tummy.
