Blood Poems
Poison in my Veins

Evil At The Wayward Inn
by Faith Brigham
'No more boarders,'
the inn keeper spewed
raising her arms in the air.
People once came to the inn in droves

It stood on the outskirts of town
a darling little place it was
that is until the unthinkable occurred

sometimes I think I'm just too good for you
by Bogdan Dragos
He jumped off the building and
the metallic wings carried
him high
towards the clouds
where others like him swam in absolute
bliss
but then something
hit his head
