Idol Minor +
Prompt 2
Roopkund


Lighting on bleached bone
Ruffling feathers for warmth
Head tucked under wing

Who summoned from hell?
What lost soul out of boredom
Called the serpent forth?

Blood soaked feather blows
Across the barren graveyard
Over sun-bleached bones

Poetry, M! Very visual and chilling! I love the middle stanza with the questioning!

[murielle]

Thank you, E! I love that you "get" me. ;-)

Thank you so much! I really found this prompt challenging and actually found some notes from years ago for a poem and borrowed some images from my past self. ;-)

Poetry! A little dark, a little shivery! Good work M!

*I'll be jumping in soon!

Thank you so much, my dear!

Yay! I can't wait! <3

I really liked this - it definitely asks for repeated readings, but the picture is sharply clear in my mind from the get-go. Sometimes the simplest things hide so much under their surface, like Roopkund, like this poem. Good work :)

Thank you so much, S. That means a lot to me. Sometimes images are all I get. :-)
