Hmmph. You seem sure of yourself. I recognize GM's poem. I think. I have to try to find butters'. I love her writing and I am irked that I can't spot it more easily. :confused:


ETA: I see a terzanelle, an Italian sonnet and maybe butters' poem.

I do ok at the guessing side of things most of the time ;) not so goos with identifiny anything that ends in elle, and a sonnet? But well I guess you get what you get :D
 
wow! lotta entries already :cool:

is #1 about ted bundy? i know the name but i'm unfamiliar with his story other than mass murderer

#3, pumpkins - if it wasn't as closely controlled, and due to subject matter, i'd have guessed harry - but i'm thinking angeline for this one

and pyewacket... that name, trying to recall which of you ladies has/d a cat called that :D it's probably my favourite here so far, and is definitely charming if not so very scary :cool:

given its content - sacrifice, hot, roasted meat, spider-webbed trees, 'pissy', then i'm fingering harry for this one :D if i'm wrong he's sure to let me know :D
 
i'm blaming magnetron for #6 - who else would slip 'exsanguinating' in there? that, the length of the write, and the wry 'sat there threequarters nekkid and no-one even noticed' seem to point his way. either that or there's a lady here who's drawing from a rueful memory somewhere :eek:
 
absolutely loving these opening lines from #4


Vampires

In darkened galleries
of lust we wait
framed in dust and guilty absence


wish i'd have written that! sooo atmospheric :cool: who wrote it? not a clue
 
i think tods might be the author of #5, Jack

lots of alliteration i associate with his writing, plus the string of slash/bash/decapitation etc....
 
#10's so irrepressibly daft it's delightful, insanity running riot in unabashed glee :D

#12 - something in its content and last line says gm to me

#9 - beyond the ding-dong-bell nursery rhyme

#11 - is growing on me; reading and rereading, there's more creepiness to this than first meets the eye - the ear helps deliver extra spookiness
 
yeah #1 is about ted bundy, looks like a carry over from the historical thread, I'm guessing AH

12 is gm, definitely, I hear the voice that I always associate with his poetry when I read it, spooky right?

10 must be Mag

9, I'm guessing butters

now whoever wrote terranelles n sonnets for a Halloween challenge I just want to say that is just so wrong :rolleyes:

Nobody is fingering anybody in here.

Keep your fingers to yourselves.
 
butters beat me to it.......17's hilarious :D

I keep making choices as to IDs then chickening out. :eek:

Just dont google bundy that guy is damaged goods WTF
 
and you, sir. might also own a h'een cat (#9)........or not. :confused:
Nope, not me; I wish it was mine. It's quite well written. It's certainly not a trick or treat candy bar poem. After my career of dealing with criminals, my first thought was ritualistic execution, a not uncommon childhood behavior among psychopaths, particularly violent sexual predators, such as the Ted in #1. The more I thought about it, however, I think Johnny is just feeling guilty about not having been able to save the cat. It'll be interesting to read the poet's take on it when the challenge is done.
