Danse Macabre 8: WRITING THE FUTURE by Digby Wolfe & Jim Linnell
http://thedansemacabre8.blogspot.com/2007/07/mas-de-doochy-ba-ba-sing-little-brown.html
An Online Alternative Literary Journal. WRITING THE FUTURE by Digby Wolfe and Jim Linnell. Because we live in a culture enthralled by "the numbers", where almost all human endeavor is measured by whether or not it "sells", the unfamiliar bears a special burden. Whether it's the occupation of Iraq or a car that runs on recycled bath water, the challenge of creative thinking is trumped by the gospel of quick results. Who ever heard of this title? Who is this writer anyway? We'd lose our shirt! The human co...

http://thedansemacabre10.blogspot.com/2007/09/il-principe-ignoto-nessun-dorma-nessun.html
As in, X). October 12, 1935 – September 6, 2007. Tu pure, o Principessa,. Nella tua fredda stanza. Che tremano d'amore e di speranza. Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,. Il nome mio nessun saprà! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò,. Quando la luce splenderà! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio. Che ti fa mia. Il nome suo nessun saprà. E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir! Dilegua, o notte! Even you, o Princess, in your cold room,. Watch the stars, that tremble with love and with hope. The Chorus of women.

Danse Macabre 13: LATE BLOOMERS a Poem by Steven Kilpatrick
http://thedansemacabre13.blogspot.com/2007/10/late-bloomers-poem-by-steven-kilpatrick.html
LATE BLOOMERS a Poem by Steven Kilpatrick. These grovel churned damp soil to life. The flower off the grave. Fans a nocent scent. That rises, lurks and stumbles like the rose. Neighborly smiles borne flesh that’s torn—yet terribly craven. These grovel churned damp soil to life. The flower off the grave. Reanimates the starving. Drowned among rust shoveled waves. Tollways of dust-trod-empty-feet dance death in body’s clothes. These grovel churned damp soil to life. The flower off the grave. Menu de la lune.

Danse Macabre 13: OCTOBER a Sonnet by Robert David Michael Cerello
http://thedansemacabre13.blogspot.com/2007/10/october-sonnet-by-robert-david-michael.html
OCTOBER a Sonnet by Robert David Michael Cerello. How diff'rent October- whose energy is dark,. Writing its change in stricken leaves of red,. In gusts, grey clouds' lines, blue sky (intense),. Of urgency spurring actions. If Spring's bright. Are glints of morning sun on wavelets thrown,. Autumn is shadows cloak'd in a brilliance; haste. Measuring acts with sinews; time's fleeting days'. Speaking commands of frost from bright Danger's. October can lull; but past its summer cloak,. Menu de la lune. DM 2 -...

Danse Macabre 13: MAGNIFICAT a Poem by Elizabeth I. Riseden
http://thedansemacabre13.blogspot.com/2007/10/magnificat-poem-by-elizabeth-i-riseden.html
MAGNIFICAT a Poem by Elizabeth I. Riseden. Sierra and Sage stand. On the upended blue tub. Arms reaching, harvesting. I rush, mold quick cookies. To celebrate Mothers Day. Why don’t I stop? Picking, worshiping apple pink. Outdoors more than indoor. Distractions; barrel, blossoms,. Gray day warm enough to pick;. Oven, sugar, fat, flour. Chocolate, stirred in a frenzy. Of forgetting that we work. In fragility- -shaping, mixing, picking- -. While the kids’ war-. Deployed Daddy could be dead. Menu de la lune.

Danse Macabre 10: THREE POEMS by William Thompson
http://thedansemacabre10.blogspot.com/2007/08/thompson-poetry.html
As in, X). THREE POEMS by William Thompson. The Redemption: Sunny Days. Today is my bright sunny day. From whence does my sunshine come. Is it from some shiney tiara. From a gambling ladys golden crown. But you are not the casino snowqueen. In Ontarios frozen tundra breeze. Youve always been an angel in the snow. Its your halo that brings my sunshine to me. Her wooly hood is her tiara. Her royal gowns a pair of jeans. As she plays all the courtly jesters. Wink and say "god save the queen". Cause I didn't...

danse macabre 19: Adam Henry Carriere
http://thedansemacabre19.blogspot.com/2008/09/elizabeth-i-riseden.html
Kiss Me on the Freeway. E’d run from the pastures of grass. To sing and dance in a car he didn’t own. Palm trees and faded neon passed. While dreams bounced inside,. The padded shoulders of memory agreed,. The pestle and mortal sin were sumptuous;. The worth of studying failed history aside,. This morphine-like lullaby still works,. Like a Cartier charm. Without the bother of incriminating ledgers,. The punky kiss still arouses deep passion. Across the trench of time. Mis-spent in the distance. SLS is af...

Danse Macabre 13: ASHLEY, IT'S SCARLET a Short Story by Felicia Florine Campbell
http://thedansemacabre13.blogspot.com/2007/10/ashley-its-scarlet-short-story-by.html
ASHLEY, IT'S SCARLET a Short Story by Felicia Florine Campbell. If I hadn't loathed the man so completely, I would have discovered the true nature of Ashley before he had done so much damage. I console myself that even a specialist in occult psychology can be forgiven for not recognizing a seemingly mythological figure walking - or should I say stalking? Of course, only three other people are aware that I am responsible for freeing Joshua U. from the curse of Ashley, or even that he was the curse. The co...
