Dancing With Fate
I gave a penny to a Tarot reader
To make sense of the dark plague
That was my life
She said, "Dancing and praying
Is all you have left
I see a gun. Beware!"
So I danced in the cemetery
During the Blood Moon
To seduce my fate
I danced not alone
But
With a dreadful creature
A kiss was my price
The camera lay where I fell
I forgot to levitate!

yikes, where you fell? did you get up? i hope so... i just don't know how you come up with these from seeing that photo and the words. but you do and it is a God given talent
This is an interesting blend of word and picture. You have told your story very well.
And so now the speaker is speaking to us from the next world! What a delightful read, even though overshadowed with darkness!
Dancing and Praying
Hiya Gail....I think you have captured the menacing etherealness of my photo perfectly. I like this piece so much because it houses a story and a character whom the reader gets to know very well. Thanks for posting and viva la
Another Dark . . .
Enchanting with hints of dread and wonder~ I love this one!
Those words sends us all into the darkest abysses of horror.. and how sinister it becomes with that picture.
:) O Shucks, Gail. I thought surely your poet would find she had kissed the frog and he became her prince. Darn.

Ouch. Such a brilliant plot--if fiction--having the prediction and then--O! But if not fiction, I shall have to sit down. No Encore, Please.
Nice connection with the story & picture ~ Too bad on the sorry ending ~
Have a good week Gail ~

Great use of words and image...fate isn't always pretty
Love how you combine the prompts to turn in an excellent poem. Hopefully you just got knock out instead of being turn into a ghost

You should have got a reward for kissing the creature. Ah well, you can't win them all.
i love the story and how well it goes with the photo !!
What an ending...very effective and made me go 'oo' and perfect photo too..
This seems a little bit scary, too!
I really enjoyed reading this! It is dark and scary, just as I like it.
Ha. I assume you were dancing with your shadow...right? Moon watched this show for sure...Nice photo, then!
I love the words "to seduce my fate." And of course, your usual twist on things.
