She let the wind take her
Particles of life drifting in the air
Like the sands of time, shaping her
Bending her, into the breeze
Caressing, every element
Breathing new life, resurrecting
Rejuvenating, reclaiming
What once had grown old

Halloween, it’s trick or treat
Does that make it sickly sweet?
Would you prefer a devilish trick?
Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick
Beware the goblins chasing ghosts
They’ll scare you out of your earthly host
Perhaps it’s better to just stay in
Away from all the spirited din
Remember, keep your doors shut tight
And turn on all the outside lights
Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats
And of course, those skeletons, riding bats
Beware of those who come your way
Unfriendly beings are not sweet today
Writing Prompt: Sickly Sweet – Day 18/31

It was risky but there was this overwhelming desire to just do it. What if something went wrong? She was being silly. Nothing could go wrong. She made her way through the path, toward the ivy covered towers, and through to the castle doors. Pushing hard against them, she entered the chamber, cautiously looking about, hoping to find nothing or no one that would put a stop to her quest. As she turned again, there he stood. Her heart stopped, as a sinister sneer crept across his face. She encountered the one thing she never gave a second thought. Death.
Writing Prompt: Insurmountable – Day 17/31
