The diva’s tremolo sustained, a monarch swarm,
in shadowed box, the Duke gropes his courtesan,
only noticing as he tumbles from the balcony,
his white cravat dyed Burgundy.

This is a One-Line Poem for Chalkboard’s Prompt: Blood by Chris Coolsma

Got a taste for blood?

You’re looking for pulse-pounding stories and unpredictable characters. You’re in luck because I’ve got just the thing for you. I’ve been working on a secret project for a while now (two of them, actually). The first is a collection of darker tales. The second, a take on the vampire genre that turns a lot of what you know on its head. If you’d like to join my stellar group of readers and get an exclusive first look at each of the stories as they come out, visit owenbanner.com and sign up for updates on the launch of my Patreon campaign. Not only will you receive an alert as soon as the the Patreon page goes live, but you’ll also get two free short stories unavailable anywhere else. Sign up now and sink your teeth into them today.
