Horror Haiku Club Prompt

[David Perlmutter]

I assume she was at all the funerals then, from Julius Caesar's down to the lowliest peasant.

[Honeygloom]

Naturally, spooky ladies love a funeral.

[Norman Crane]

life is a gateway

drug, and every breath you take,

injection of death.

[Honeygloom]

Hard to accept, but all too true. Really beautiful 🖤

[erniet]

Love, death, and taxes;

Hail Venus Libitina...

Inevitable.

[Honeygloom]

Ah, so true. Very nicely done🖤

[B. F. Bodhisattva]

Thank you for this prompt.

I just fell down a roman funerary practices rabbit hole, learn some new stuff.

[Honeygloom]

Same thing happened to me, these rabbit holes are so slippery. 🖤

[Gloria Horton-Young]

In shadows she walks,

Venus' counterpart, silent,

Guiding the last breath.

Libitina's veil,

Whispers of love and parting,

Funerals in bloom.

Under moonlit sky,

Goddess of the final rite,

Peace in her embrace.

[Honeygloom]

Haunting and gorgeous. You paint her as such a gentle and kind figure🖤

[Gloria Horton-Young]

Death often is a blessing for the dying individual.

[Honeygloom]

So true😌
