Exceptional a 100 word horror poem Poems : With Your Mouth Closed by Bill Schott 100 Word Horror writing prompt entry

I admire how you chew with your mouth closed. Your refinement will shine as we sit here and dine. You've enjoyed the gazpacho with port; Smiled after tasting the raspberry torte; I suspect you won't mind coffee I'll freshly grind. I admire that you scream with your mouth closed. Your manners bear out even during fear and doubt. I laced the gazpacho with strychnine; The nightshade grows by the raspberry vine; You've turned quite blue; I guess dinner is through. It's nice to see you with your mouth closed. Your verbal transgressions have been my obsession. 'The rest is silence.' Writing Prompt The challenge is to write a poem that contains some form of horror or thriller. No more than 100 words. Recognized Author Notes 'The rest is silence.' is the final line from Hamlet.
