Moving Images Of Madness

Loosely Inspired And Submitted To The Poetry Of The Hunt Challenge

By Marc OBrienPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Apply masks

Reveal the flasks

Schedule a monstrous task

Act like a hunk

Get drunk

Fight with a punk

Perform the crystal placid river lake baptism dunk

Then something smells like a skunk

Bodies lying around

Covering the ground

Screams throughout silent night air

Alerts of an evil scare

Mist forms

Throughout a secluded castle and academic dorms

Who is the stalker?

Killing all the gossipy talkers

Looking for cash

Wearing lingerie and only a sash

Wanting a good weekend bash

Filled with images that flash

And bodily functions that pass

Gas

Seeing medical school prosthetics in the trash

An arm, a leg

Blame the spirited Yvonne Craig

Who quoted something once said

Message stays in the youth’s head

“Remember anything can happen

Especially when the hunter wants zap them

So be a dear

Buck the fear

Grab an object sharp

Aim for the killer’s heart

Then walk outside

Appear, shocked knowing everyone died

You will get top billing credit

Since you did not get it

But they want you back

Headlining an expected, money-making sequel attack”

Time to get the popcorn snack

And enjoy watching, midnight angels get hacked
