A Horror Comedy Sonnet, Because Why Not

A while back, I promised a custom sonnet for whoever became my 666th follower on BlueSky. That honor went to a writer named Mark.

“Mark,” I said, “you get your choice of genre, humor or horror.” To my great delight, Mark said, “How about both?” Because only thing better than horror and comedy is a horror comedy!

Have a gander, Mark, and thanks for the follow. This was fun to write.

I roam Las Vegas as a restless haunt,
To wreck my ex, and though I cannot kill,
An agent of revenge is what I want,
A person I’ll possess to work my will.

This dressy dame will do the trick, I think,
All giant hair and glitz and chardonnay.
I seize her brain and body in a blink
And strut those high-heeled Jimmy Choos his way.

She flirts with him, and laughs, and eggs him on,
Her foxy figure under my command,
And, drunk with lust, his inhibitions gone,
He bets it all on one last poker hand.

He got away with leaving me to rot,
But keeping all my money? I think not!
