Today, I'm trying something new. The Mag has a creative challenge using this picture as your inspiration.
Here goes nothing.
THE EYES HAUNTED HIM
Everywhere he turned
He didn't want to think of her
But those haunting eyes
Loomed on the horizon of his mind
Constantly,
Continually,
Asking him, why?
She didn't have to die
If she'd only stopped looking
With that piercing gaze
But she looked,
Sadly,
Silently,
As he squeezed her porcelain throat.
He thought her death
Would end it all
Erase her from his mind
No more chocolate eyes,
Pleading,
Placating,
Gone but forever in his mind, the eyes cried, Guilty!

Nice writing! I loved your alliterative words in each verse. Nifty!
Whoa. Whoaaaaaa. That is super great. I love this. Whoa.
No I don't think you're a horse. The whoa is for me to stop and think about what you said. You painted the picture in my mind.

This one is great. I like the way you have used the alliterations. Well done.
Blessed be.

there is something about the eyes, you might be right, they might be accusing. I haven't made up my mind yet about them.
Can't kill the bogey man, eh?
Nicely done! :)
ooooh - very haunting! Love your take & perspective.
Looming on the horizon of his mind - very thought-provoking. I get the feeling he will be haunted for a long time yet.
Wonderful development of your idea! Poe move over, you have competition. Have a good day.
Wonderfully dark. I love dark!

Well . . . you know what I think!
Creative. Alliterative Intrigue Curious
A Bit of Dark
I think in reading . . . whenever I am drawn in . . . curious, wondering, my mind flying . . . Ya got me at GO!
Like I said, "you know what I think!"
Wow, that's pretty damn good and very believable. You can just imagine how his mind worked. You have a great imagination!
No who done it here...guilty!
