Madness Reigns by Michele Vecchitto
Madness reigns as the tormentor waves her magic wand -- stirring, whirling, executing the perfect storm Delighting in the chaos, she spears her vulnerable victim and laughs as she watches her crumble Slurping blood from cracked bones only empowers her cruelty Madness rains, falling from storm clouds she created from her own insecurity, faults, and … Continue reading Madness Reigns by Michele Vecchitto

The Oak and The Man by Rod E. Kok
I found this poem through #OctPoWriMo. It is a powerful story told through a florette.
