Hilltop Haunt
they rode their horses
to the hilltop village
bought the loney cotttage
at its edge
they drank to their new home
and went to bed
in the morning they found the floor
a spell scratched in its wood
the father read it
the mother said it
and the child paid the price
died in the night
to never leave
the lonley cottage on the hill

Spooktober - A Poetry Challenge
The delightful @fablesdelightme and I ( @theheartofthekoko) invite you to take part in our upcoming poetry challenge!
The goal is to write a new poem every day for the entire month (or as many days as work for you, there are no firm rules about it). We have thirty-one prompts, but feel free to write whatever you want, the prompts are mostly there as a little nudge towards poetic inspiration.
Post and tag your poems with #spooktoberpoetry here on tumblr to take part in the challenge! Liza and I will be checking the tag and commenting on/reblogging poems sporadically over the course of the month! We’re excited to share our love of poetry with you, and hope that you’ll join us as you feel comfortable!
There really are no rules beyond posting your work and tagging it. Other creative endeavors in writing and art are fine as well, if the inspiration strikes! There’s no minimum requirement or limit to how many poems you can write. This is meant to be fun, not stressful!
Let's have a spooky time,
- Liza and Koko
