Horror Haiku Club Prompt
March 7 - Sinister
The word ‘sinister’ comes from the Latin sinistrum or ‘left hand.’
Your prompt is SINISTER.
From the east came crows
The trembling Auspex cried out
“Jupiter! Save us!”
The Romans thought bad omens came from the left hand side.
Sinister? Not so.
Make your wildest dreams true.
Join the left hand path.
Foul deeds in shadows
A scoundrel preys on the weak
Ah! The world's sorrows
An innocent falls
Caught in sinister darkness
The night swallows all
Dawn's light exposes
Grim remnants of cruelty
Tears of the morning
