Rachel's Floetry

  • Prompt: Memory

    Her earliest memory. Burning lumber, and strangled screams. He feels as solid as hickory. The heady smell of soil, and the comfort of matted emery fur under her belly as she hangs bonelessly — draped over him like a mantle. Running. Running. Running. Two umber eyes are the last kindness she sees. Her adopted mother…

  • Prompt: Heart

    Plouton’s realm is guarded, as is his heart. A perished land, the unseen one presides Goddess of Spring offers her loving warmth Hark thee, King, she sings, your dread Queen has arrived! I, Persephone, will be yours — ichor and soul, flesh and bones. My undying devotion, I hope to depart with one hundred roses.…

  • Prompt: Alacrity

    Darling! Darling! Tap tap tap! Her casement window rapped. On the other side — in the blackest of nights — a rakish, ruby-eyed chap. The demon king extends his hand to his lover behind the glass. I’ve come to whisk you away. Together, we shall lord over my domain. I promise vitality. I promise eternity.…

  • Prompt: Ferocity

    Heed caution. Full moons promise bad omens Do not be fooled by beasts who were once men Unbridled ferocity Hungry, wild, monstrosities Make meals of infatuated women You can find this poem, and the rest for this contest on WattPad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/306715590-moon-gate

  • Prompt: Petrichor

    Nestled between two giant sequoia trees. As old as earth. As old as time. As old as fate. Teeming with fauna, flora, and mystical energies. Under aurora flushed skies, a hidden path awaits. Redolent of petrichor, home to mythical beasts. Elves reside protected — by sword, spell, and pointy gates. You can find this poem,…

  • Prompt: Ancient

    My lover is three centuries ancient. A dragon with a penchant for savants. Smooth carborundum scales calefacient. Shallow beauty or station — he cares not. Brick chested in mortal transformation. A tail of smooth ebony hair, tied taught. A true gentleman — devout, and patient. My dragon is a handsome juggernaut. Dragon art by Kekai…

  • Prompt: Adversity

    Weary from adversity, she slumbers. Her hunger — pure agony. They hunt her. Mortal darling. A mistake. The claim on his skin — cribrate. Her sole comfort, a stake from her lover. You can find this poem, and the rest for this contest on WattPad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/306715590-moon-gate

  • Prompt: Echo

    Munted remains of a mossy moon gate. Tangled in marigolds, it marinates. Nighttime’s zenith, it yawns wide. Lures our children. Echoes lies. At first light, its maw shuts. A golden grave. Trying my hand at limericks. You can find this poem, and the rest for this contest on WattPad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/306715590-moon-gate

  • Prompt: Eloquence

    Between sanity and grief, a fine line. We had burned the warlock’s lover alive. His incantations ruled the elements — with words so ancient, smooth, and venomous — he summoned winds with fiery eloquence. Destruction is our fated punishment.
