are we wandering
fantasy?
purple plastered peeps
and can't breathe?
or are we wandering
penury,
dead stop peasant
inquiry?
insurance-nulled scant
luxury?

You imagine the eye
In some shaded fantasy
Blinking and roving
Inspiring your timidity.
But fear not its glare
Fear not its gleam
For Sting is brought here
To take on this thing!

Your 5th prompt is: "fantasy"

at night it looks like a portal to hell,
standing tall and ghostly white against the sky.
if you see Old Green Eyes, just run.
it's better than being tossed from the battlements.
so many found dead at its base...

Old Green Eyes they call me,
But I don't really have a name.
I've been here longer than the trees,
I'll be here when you're dead.
I'll knock you from the tower here,
I'll try to steal your head!

I told my family once
bury me in a glass coffin...
the trick was that I would haunt
anyone who looked too close
because I figured the afterlife
would be a bit too boring,
being without a body and all.

they say that if you search long enough
you'll find my glass coffin
unburied upon the house's grounds.
try not to look too long upon,
or I'll haunt you for all time!

imagine walking through this tunnel
and encountering a man on horseback
except he's headless,
and chases you back.
so apparently if you get to the end,
you can only see the hole in daylight...

#fastprompt 207:3

Just like that story, long ago,
the horseman that do haunt,
I am headless, and wander round
my head is what I hunt.
my head is what I hunt,
but I cannot find
cannot find
it anywhere around.

and shut down again this year
there's no telling whose left wandering
the grounds or local parks.
don't stay out after dark.

Been around too long
Too long I've been around
I'm haunted from root to top
Nothing is free from my grounds.
I was an asylum once
The dead they are not found.

every town has a white lady ghost,
a spirit wandering forever in search of something...
ours wanders a yellow bridge
set deep within the park.
some say she died in a fire,
but most just talk about her form,
glowing in the dark.

#fastprompt 207:1

She haunts the bridge they say
The White Lady

if I were you
I'd not ask
the hitchhiker
to navigate.
they'll have you down
and turned around
and buried at the gate.
they rely on your naivety
their lust to satiate.

I'm your chosen
Navigator
I'll get you there
I swear.
Don't mind the bumps
Or that tearing sound,
It's just space bugs
Out there.

we can watch the invasion from here,
and sip a little tea.
they learned their lesson, long ago
never to bother me.
I know their weakness, but since I'm shunned
won't bothering telling all.
I'll just sit here, with my toddy
and wait for them to fall.

#fastprompt 206:5

Fastprompt @fastprompt.bsky.social · 13d

you told me I was stupid
for being so afraid
said that alien invasions
were a lie already made.
yet here they are a-flying,
and I'd say I told you so,
but there you are a-lying
in 20 feet of snow.

ever feel like you're not alone
solo-camping in the woods?
that's because there's watchers
out there, braced to share
anything they could.
it won't help to clutch your lights
they'll cover you with soot.

#fastprompt 206:3

Fastprompt @fastprompt.bsky.social · 13d

we are watched by the watcher
it monitors our actions
if we don't do what they say
they'll overload the reactor.
be a good little robot,
an always smiling actor.

they want me to be a spectacle
but I'm just a rectangle
not a boring little square
perhaps a quadrilateral
a biped unilateral
running out of air.
you'll always fit in
and I really don't care.

We will enjoy the spectacle
As two behemoths collide.

skin touching lightning bolts,
handshake juxtaposed
in clenching, clutching jolts.
got my tongue on battery posts
my fingers making toast.

Following us day by day.

By his magnificence,
His all-seeing-eye
Haunts us always.

pretend you can't stand thinking
on two legs you can't withstand
your conscience barely blinking
at rhetoric bored and bland.
overblown like flies eggs
poking from your skin,
guess what, you've bought the hook
they reeled you in again.

To turn into a man.
Had plenty of chances
To turn them to his plan.
Some cult activity needed
Was always in demand.
