Haha, indeed! I have been successfully converted to the dark side. I write cosmic horror anyway, so it was only a matter of time before horror found its way into my poetry. 😂
NOW THIS. Is is how I view the water. The ocean. I’ve never swam in it, partly due to me not being able to, but more due to the fear. Hm maybe today’s story I write will be about water. 👁️👁️
Haha, the ocean is inherently scary for a lot of reasons. The prompt for today’s poetry challenge, combined with my love for cosmic/existential horror, made this idea practically beg to be written.
This was beautiful and so unsettling! The implication of the ocean as a thing so much bigger (and more dangerous) than we can understand comes across so well here
holy shit. you KILLED it. I was hoping you would pick that prompt!
Haha, you set me up for success as always, V! So glad you enjoyed it. 😁
Yes bro yes, lean into the dark side!

Very deep illustration of life positions, I love it.
Thank you! It's amazing how something like the ocean can be tied to so many other themes and subjects.
Brilliant shit here. Love the way you incorporate your lovecraftian writing into this. Into what the ocean is!

WOW this is my new favorite of yours!
The way I can feel the emotions of the sea and am disgusted by humanity 😂
Utterly fantastic!
Haha, I love it when a new story/poem of mine becomes your new favorite! My day has officially been made. 😎
The ominous vibes that it gives off are what feed my soul and I thank you for this piece from the bottom of my heart 💕😂
Haha, just repaying you for all the superb horror vibes I've recieved from your work! 🤝

Thank you, Artemis! As a writer of cosmic horror, the themes of the prompt matched up nicely with my style of horror. So glad you enjoyed it!
I love this:
Your hubris is a stench.
It ruins your exquisite flavor.
You think yourselves gods,
that your rule will never waver.
Thank you, Suswati! That’s one of my favorite stanzas in the piece as well.
