Today is National Apple Day. We say apples are very American – there is apple pie, apple crumble, apple cider, legendary Johnny Appleseed – and one of my favorite love tokens, apple cider donuts. I spent Saturday evening sipping hot apple tea in front of a talkative wood fire.

Nothing to me is a scary & spooky as a spider. And many stories use them to up the fear factor. Tolkein inserts the Spiders of Mirkwood in Hobbit & Shelob in Return of the King. Aragog & his children in Harry Potter. In Doctor Who, itis the arachnoids, (Think I geek much?) Arachnophobia. The early myths of Arachne. Etcetera, etcetera etcetera.

I’m sitting, sipping a little Daydreamer tea that fellow poet, TL Cooper gifted me. My laptop, Pixy, is still not charging up – so I have been using the desktop PC, MyLady, that rests on my bedroom desk. The hub of the home’s network, she doesn’t get much keyboard action but she usually is very active multi-tasking despite being quiet – a lot like me. But the past few days we have been spending time together and I forget how cozy it can be to hide out in my purple room. I have a deep plum candle dancing, cushy lil’ cushion for my tushie, a cat purring at the foot of the bed, a fluffy blanket still warm from the dryer. Very safe, very secure …

Okay, let’s go with some urban myths now – a little Freddy Kruger, a bloody hook on a car door, a little Hannibal Lecter …
I want to slip my skin off and slide into eerie imagination.

I am doing a little detour from spooky prompts today for history. And I believe we need to look at history to learn from it.

October has now started AND I do plan on playing with spooky monstrous prompts this month. I love Halloween almost as much as Americans love their coffee. Almost, but not quite as much. For coffee is not a yearly indulgence nor a monthly one – not even a daily one – but an hourly indulgence.
Given what today is, I am waiting until tomorrow for the supernatural, freaky prompts. Today is International Coffee Day – Celebrate as you Continue reading “Oct 1 prompt and poem”
