A GAME


  1. Green-glassed walls hold us in.
    The ground rumbles and shakes.
    The trees lift up their trunks,
    Pulling their roots from the dirt.
    They shuffle closer to us,
    Bushes following in their wake.
    A tall plant opens its jaws,
    Sharp teeth protruding from its mouth.
    Squeaking bats follow us out,
    Flapping their wings at our heads.
    We must escape this house.
    This is not a game I care to play.

MAN-EATERS


Welcome to my house.
A greenhouse of snakes.
Overgrown greenery.
A bat cave.
And don’t forget.
My man-eating plants.
The Florida sun shines in.
Giving life to my friends.
And death to all who enter.

THE GREENHOUSE






Source:


A greenhouse in Florida.
Greenery and wildlife to the brim.
Trees with life of their own.
Birds unseen but heard.
Limbs reaching.
Grabbing for the next visitor.
Snakes slithering in their cages.
Wings flapping in the next room.
Surprises in store.
And so much more.
Come and join us.

WELCOME TO MY GREENHOUSE





"Welcome to my greenhouse,"
Wolf steps back from the front door.
He leads his guests to his greenhouse.
A path meanders through the thick greenery.
Leaves rustle.
Chirping sounds fill the room. 
No animals or birds.
Only tall trees reaching the green-domed ceiling.
A wall of cages faces them.
Cages filled with snakes.
Long tongues reach for the unwelcome guests.
Wolf laughs at their discomfort.
Time to leave the strange house.
They race down the same path.
Trees lift their mighty trunks in pursuit.
The house shakes and rumbles.
Wolf bellows louder in laughter.
They run through the room of portraits.
Eyes follow their desperate escape.
From a house ready to
swallow them alive.
THE DEAD GAME HAS BEGUN.
