"Spooksville (HiveBloPoMo #1!)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Hey folks! This is my first OFFICIAL entry in the November Hive Blog Post Month Challenge! I'm going to attempt to post 30 times over the next 30 days, and for my freaky twist, I'm going to write 30 different "low-ku" poems. Those are poems in the haiku style, but with low-brow content! In this entry, you'll also get some artworks, but that's just coincidental. THIS, which you will undoubtedly read in a matter of seconds, is the REAL excitement! Here's the first of 30 low-ku poems...

001---
Roses are red, yo!
Poetry is black...and blue.
Eat your heart out, Poe!

Ha! ha ha ha ha!!! Ain't that a kick? (Low-ku poems are SUPPOSED to be bad...)

(If you think you can do worse, send me a link! I'd love to read some more terrible poetry!)

Until tomorrow, here's some artz:

"Odd Ghost"

[Liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] This ghost seems to have inhabited an old feed bag or something made out of sack cloth. Poor thing! (He'll never get invited to the FANCY parties now!)

"Craft Fair Booth"

[Gel pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments.]

This is a "field drawing" from a craft fair that my wife and daughters took part in a few weeks ago. In this drawing, we can see my wife, Mariah, and our younger daughter, Elise, getting ready for a day of sales! (Not in the picture is our older daughter, Frankie, and the Donkey Kong machine, which was down the hall. I got the high score before the day was over!)

"In the Coils"

[Felt pen, brush pen, paint pen, and liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and colors.] Coils and spirals. Endless digression. The macro mimics the micro. Snakes and snails and puppy-dog tails... And ink, of course...

"Greedy"

[Colored pencil, metallic marker, paint pen, and felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.]

Automatic drawing influenced by color contemplation and haunted drawing implements. The title is nearly a complete non sequitur. (It has something to do with my use of the "saturation" function in the color manipulation...)

"Pretty Curse"

[Digital photo, moshed and manipulated, and imbued with a diabolical magick.] It looks so nice---but even flowers can be poisonous.

"Snake Charm"

[Felt pen on paper with digital embellishments and color.] Is it a symbol or a sigil? Either way, it's a powerful piece of crafting! (Don't let it tough you!)

"Trippin' Out Beast"

[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.]

This beast breathed in noxious digital fumes and began hallucinating in saturated color-fill patterns! Poor sum'bitch!

[P.S. - Look out! He thinks he being attacked by bees!!!]

"Cotton Candy Ghost"

[Ink on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] "Are you a ghost hunter? I think I saw the apparition head that way!" the ghostie said...

"Drifting with Spirits"

[Felt pen, colored pencil, and crayon on paper with digital embellishments and color manipulation.] Out of body experience---floating in a psychic dimension with human and animal spirits...and OTHERS...

"Masked Maniac"

[Crayon on colored cardstock with digital embellishments and color.]

Huddled in the dark, we could hear---outside---the HOWL of the masked maniac!

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Section Zero"

[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] A psychic cry rings out from Dr. Mother's mind, and the four members of SECTION ZERO "hear" and respond. The world NEEDS them, and they wouldn't hesitate to heed the call!

P.S. - SECTION ZERO! The day is saved, but the night is still young!
