Horror Haiku Club Prompt
April 2 - Pentagram
Among other things, a Christian symbol representing the five wounds of Christ.
Your prompt is PENTAGRAM.
Infernal Symbol
Never forget who you are
Believe in yourself
The pentacle was turned on its head by 19th century French occultists to symbolize an inversion of the natural order.
Starlight on the road—
Five points where paths cross, whispers
Jazz in every step.
•
Night whispers secrets,
Five lines drawn in the sand—gone
With dawn’s first light.
•
In a diner’s glow,
Coffee rings as pentagrams—
Magic in mundane.
•
Beat feet on pavement,
Each step a point of the star—
Life’s map, unfolding.
•
Old records spinning,
Notes like stars in a circle—
Dance in their light.
Protects from evil
If scribed appropriately;
No gaps in the lines!
