Horror Haiku Club Prompt

[A.P. Murphy]

Job 28:18 "The price of wisdom is above rubies"

=============

I threw rubies where they were gobbled

by bloodied mouths which still ask

through broken teeth: "Where is my wisdom?"

[Honeygloom]

Mmmm…. Aluminum oxide with chromium 🤤 Love the image, blood and rubies, desperate people. Really well done🖤

[A.P. Murphy]

Thanks oh HG, the twin settings of horror and poetic meditation are always on standby ready for you to provide the catalyst

[Honeygloom]

Very happy to hear that!

[A.C. Cargill, Author]

Blood crystalized here

Be my eye upon the world

Facets full of fear

[Honeygloom]

This is beautifully dark imagery, the last line is so perfect, too🖤

[Songsterfunsterhamster]

A stone for your soul:

Colour of life eternal

And cardinal sins

[Honeygloom]

Oh I love this! I can interpret it a couple different ways, which I always enjoy🖤

[Richard Blaisdell]

Ruby red gem stone

Laser arrow beams pierce the night

To find target locations end war machine.

[Honeygloom]

Awesome! A little sci-fi today! I love it🖤

[Chris J. Franklin]

A sword full of jewels,

Was prized not just for good luck,

But to kill with style... 😎

[Honeygloom]

Killing with style is way more important than people realize😜🖤

[Chris J. Franklin]

Absolutely! It definitely adds a bit of class to the proceedings. Haha... 😎
