Poetic Captions: Library of the Living Dead

You would think after writing a poem every day for poetry month that writing one poem in a week would be easy. It wasn’t. All your wonderful captions had my head spinning with ideas. 

Library of the Living Dead

Poem by Rena
Illustration by Bill

On my walk

My midnight walk

I came across

A curious shop

A ghoul, a vamp

A frankenstein

Browsing books

Row by row

Diamond, sparkling

Stalker vamp

Is just the thing a ghoul needs

Pain shifting

Orphan girl

Vampire Ann snapped it up

Cinder, cyborg

Lunar queen

Baba Yaga laughed out loud

Shape shifting

Hunchbacked spy

Frankenstein fell in love

One by one

They bought their books

And shuffled out

Into the night
