October Prompt Challenge Day 1-12

Hello, this is my entry into the #octoberpromptchallenge2022 I didn’t want to make numberous posts so I’m just making one big post. I’m not trying to win, I’m just here to have fun.

However, I would like to know who won that journalist contest in July of 2021, I might have missed it, I really don’t know. Not to brag or anything but it is my second most liked post, sitting at 36 likes. I know, I’m so good at this app.

I’ll stop talking now, enjoy my entry in the October Prompt Challenge!

Your size makes you seem delicate,

Like a spiderweb.

But the wise fly knows that delicate

Can also be strong.

3. Rain

The rain to the wind said,

‘You push and I’ll pelt.’

They so smote the garden bed,

that the flowers actually knelt,

And lay lodged - though not dead.

I know how the flowers felt.

-Robert Frost

fallen leaves are dead

has never watched them

dancing on a windy day.

does his work with his apron on.

Cuts your throat and takes your bones,

6. Campfire

Gather round, gather round.

Let’s tell the story of the hound

He comes around every night

He’s sure to give you quite a fright

He bears his teeth and bows his head

He’s sure to make you drop stone dead

His howls like a church choir

But he fears the flames of a great big fire

-It’s Just Eva

Who I’ve Been?

before the rest of the world.

You got a lonesome road to walk.

It ain’t along the railroad track.

It ain’t along the black-top tar

You’ve walked a hundred times before.

I’ll tell you where the real road lies:

Between your ears, behind your eyes.

That is the path to Paradise,

And, likewise, the road to ruin.

25. Haunted House

A house is never still in darkness

the latch rises.

Ghosts were created when

the first man awoke in the night.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed! I had a lot of fun with this. I accidentally used up all 25 pictures so there isn’t a picture for “monster” but it’s whatever. I hope you have a great day/night.

Peace Out!
