The Notebook

by Maple Tree   Oct 28, 2012


Twisted markings etch the bindings
of a leather notebook, laced in red.

Every page contains the findings
of just how twisted I am in my head.

Feverish details of a mortal man
left bleeding out upon the stairs.

I feed on the wretched, as much as I can
taking them down slowly, in pairs.

Two by two, they come to call
bitten and sucked they start to fall.

My secrets lay hidden in every note,
it gave me great pleasure to even gloat.

Secretly vamping, exclusive to you
allow me to bite, as you read through.

Diary of the dead, markings of a witch,
I'm the author of the notebook, a romantic glitch.

    Loved this entry for the comp Maple and your idea was again very creative and powerful. It is such a well known film too and the contrast you have written about is so very oppostie of the film itself.

    I loved the rhyming of this too, made the flow very steady and I enjoyed the read. Well done.

    Ha ha ha Cara thats awesome! Actually I really loved that last line... but in order for me to post it in dark horror I had to change that B word to Glitch instead... otherwise I would have had to post it in Explicit... but I did mean it to portray sarcasm... ha ha ha glad you enjoyed!! thank you

    Congrats on your win =)

    I have to say, I was a bit surprised when I found out this was your poem, I think the curse word is what threw me off?

    "I'm the author of the notebook, a romantic b itch"

    Seriously that line was so damn sarcastic that I laughed!
