I’m joining this week’s haiku prompt challenge from Ron, the prompt words Tide and Flesh just seemed to be made for me as I’m doing Halloween type/scary posts leading up to 31st October.
Here’s a few of my recent activities:
I’ve been joining the #red eye scary read along, from Stripes Publishing, more about that on my previous post: https://atomic-temporary-67364188.wpcomstaging.com/2015/09/30/read-eye-readalong-frozen-charlotte/
and I’ve written a Halloween themed short story for #BlogBattle too:

So let’s talk haiku, I’ve written several this week, five in total. You see I like spooky things, even though spooky things scare me!!
The Red Tide
The red tide flows in
It decimates the shoreline
Flesh flows scattering
Vampires Outlive Us
Vampires outlive us
Life drifts and flows on the tide
Flesh decays with time
Ghosts Harbour Grudges
Ghosts harbour grudges
With no flesh to look pretty
Tide drifts ghosts do too
Wily Witches
Wily Witches Spells
Make their old flesh young and firm
Charms cast on the tide
The Blood Moon
The blood moon settles
High above tide’s jewelled throne
A red shadow glows

Hi.
Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.
