Re Mors, e-mail sent:

"I regret killing this one."

Eternally, Death

[Honeygloom]

🤩Brilliantly done!

[Gloria Horton-Young]

CLEVER!

[Daniel Baldwin]

Mors picked among them

For the tired, broken, worn.

Vexed, he took them all.

[Honeygloom]

Tragic and well told. I really felt this one.

[Gloria Horton-Young]

Vexed is such a delicious word.

[Reginald Clay]

😂 this made me laugh. That's totally happening

[Honeygloom]

My original last line was much darker, but I decided to switch it up and go for the dark comedy instead.

[Reginald Clay]

Now I'm curious

[Honeygloom]

Eh, it’s a real mood killer, and probably anticlimactic now, too😂

[Reginald Clay]

Haha okay

[Gloria Horton-Young]

I’m in a dark place today.

1.

Crimson petals fall

Mors whispers through withered leaves

Souls drift on the breeze

2.

Skeletal fingers

Grasp at fleeting life, in vain

Mors claims her tribute

3.

Echoes of last breaths

Mingle with the rustling reeds

Mors, the grim reaper

4.

Blood-stained moon rises

Mors dances in the shadows

Scythe gleams in the night

5.

Bones crunch underfoot

Mors, a grinning skull, watches

Autumn's deathly hues

[Honeygloom]

Absolutely gorgeous as always! I love the correlation of souls with dried leaves. Such a cool image. Also loving a blood-stained moon 🖤

[Gloria Horton-Young]

Thank you. Your prompts are intriguing.

[ClownWorld Shakespeare]

Pummel-punch-pierce-pound

Spurting-screaming-shriek... silent

Mors code of honor

[Honeygloom]

Ahhh I love it!

[Gloria Horton-Young]

I love your punctuation.
